Sex-specific contributions estimated from the data of Cheng et al. (2009). (A) The range, median, and 25th and 75th percentiles of the sets of sex-specific contributions for which the Euclidean distance D (Equation 25) between model-predicted admixture and observed admixture from Cheng et al. (2009) was at most 0.01. The range of values for and the contributions representing Europeans is smaller than that representing Africans (B) Female contributions as a function of D. (C) Male contributions as a function of D. For B, the male contributions are fixed at their median values producing
For C, the female contributions are fixed in a corresponding manner, at Each side of the triangles in B and C represents one of three parameters that sum to 1, and in B and C, respectively. Parameter values were tested at increments of 0.01 for each quantity.
