Probabilities for a pair of genotypes having either 1 or 0 alleles shared identical by descent. Allele errors are independent and have probability ε0, and ej=εj(1ε)4j for 0j4. Genotypes have major allele A, minor allele B, true allele frequencies pA and pB, and error-added allele frequencies fA and fB. We estimate fA and fB with the observed allele frequencies, and we estimate pB and pA = 1 − pB using the relationship pB=(fBε)/(12ε).
