Population structure inference results from each method were compared to ancestry estimates from a supervised individual ancestry analysis with ADMIXTURE including reference population panels.

a

d denotes the number of axes of variation included as predictors in the linear regression model to determine the R2 value for each of the methods.

b

PCA was performed with the EIGENSOFT software.

c

MDS was implemented in the PLINK software.

d

FamPCA is the Zhu et al. [2008] method as implemented in the KING [Manichaikul et al., 2010] software.

e

An unsupervised ADMIXTURE analysis was conducted without including reference population panels. FRAPPE results were identical to ADMIXTURE.
