Definition of parameters used in theoretical model.

λ The average proportion of African ancestry
pAi The Ai allele frequency at the ith locus in the African population
pEi The Ai allele frequency at the ith locus in the European population
λpAi The AiA allele frequency at the ith locus in the African-American population before selection
λ(1 – pAi) The aiA allele frequency at the ith locus in the African-American population before selection
(1 – λ)pEi The AiE allele frequency at the ith locus in the African-American population before selection
(1 – λ)(1 – pEi) The aiE allele frequency at the ith locus in the African-American population before selection
pmi = λpAi + (1 – λ)pEi The Ai allele frequency at the ith locus in the African-American population before selection
