NC and ND are the samples sizes for populations C and D, respectively. Populations A and B had a sample size of 50 individuals for all of simulations. The data within the table shows the proportions of genetic ancestry within samples from populations A, B, C and D that was assigned to each of two clusters. The evolutionarily appropriate clustering arrangement is 1.00, 1.00, 1.00, 0.00, which indicates that all the genes from populations A, B and C were assigned to one cluster, and all the genes from population D were assigned to the second cluster.
