We report adjusted R2 on the liability scale for each of the 5 main prediction methods, as well as EUR-SAS-meta. We obtained similar relative results using NagelkerkeR2, R2 on the observed scale and AUC (S14 Table). P-values are from likelihood ratio tests comparing models EUR and SAS to the null model, model SAS+ANC to SAS, model EUR+SAS to EUR, and EUR+LAT+ANC to EUR+SAS. For the EUR model we used RLD2=0.8 and PT=10-3, for SAS we used RLD2=0.8 and PT=0.8, and for EUR-SAS-metawe used RLD2=0.8 and PT=10-3. We also report normalized weights, defined as the mixing weight α^k (see Methods) multiplied by the standard deviation of the PRS.
