Kinship coefficients were estimated with the REAP kinship-coefficient estimator from Equation 3, the homogeneous-population kinship-coefficient estimator from Equation 1, and the KING-robust kinship-coefficient estimator. Results given in the table are the average of the kinship coefficients (and SDs) for each estimator calculated with 10,000 simulated random SNPs for population-structure setting 2. The following abbreviations are used: REAP, relatedness estimation in admixed populations; and SD, standard deviation.
