Hi John,
I read your paper thank you. I can't figure out what this statement on
page 12 means: "The Mathematica hierarchical clustering routine
minimizes the differences of all the haplotypes using the entire
marker set in each haplotype. It does not group testees by minimizing
the distances of their near-zero markers". What for example is a
near-zero marker?
I have to plead ignorance on that myself. Bill Howard wrote all the
technical parts. In fact he wrote most of the paper. I just chipped in with
some background stuff on M222 and surnames.
John
