(*)

= the MIRU-VTNRplus database is used for training;

(†)

= the training subset of the entire data is used for training;

= only the 15 most discriminative VNTR loci are used for the prediction. The numbers in square brackets indicate the accuracy of only the assignments actually made (excluding NAs).
