a

The ability to exclude subjects based on different numbers of AIMs is shown using both 10% and 15% non-Ancestry group membership.

b

The top of each column indicates the number of AIMs in each set. The AIMs were selected based on informativeness in four population groups (see Methods). Analyses were performed using K = 4.

c

For each set the criteria for exclusion is shown. The fraction of subjects that would be excluded for each criterion is indicated for each subject group.
