Diversity Index (for VNTR data), A measure of the variation of the number of repeats at each locus. Ranges from 0.0 (no diversity) to 1.0 (complete diversity).

Confidence Interval, Precision of the Diversity Index, expressed as 95% upper and lower boundaries.

K, Number of different repeats present at this locus in this sample set.

Max (pi), Fraction of samples that have the most frequent repeat number in this locus (range 0.0–1.0).
