Misclassification Matrix for the Allele-Independent Modelab

Observed Genotype Z True Genotype X
0 1 2
0 12ϵ(1ϵ)ϵ2 ϵ(1ϵ) ϵ2
1 2ϵ(1ϵ) 12ϵ(1ϵ) 2ϵ(1ϵ)
2 ϵ2 ϵ(1ϵ) 12ϵ(1ϵ)ϵ2
a

Genotype can be coded as 0 (major-allele homozygous), 1 (heterozygous), or 2 (minor-allele homozygous).

b

ϵ = Prob(allele A is misclassified into allele a) = Prob(allele a is misclassified into allele A).
