ε, M: Malecot parameters; -2lnL: composite -2 log likelihood; df: degrees of freedom; VLDU: residual error variance for the linkage disequilibrium unit map; COS: Cosmopolitan sample; AF: African - American; CA: UK Caucasians; CE: Utah CEPH founders; AS: Japanese and Chinese.
* Figures in brackets are corresponding values when the additional single nucleotide polymorphisms are included, whenever the linkage disequilibrium unit distance in an interval is bounded at 3, and is therefore a hole.
