Fig. 4: Overlapping histograms of Δ LOD values for assignments to 9600 simulated unknown parents of pools.
From: Maximum likelihood parentage assignment using quantitative genotypes

Histograms were generated using a pooling-by-phenotype approach—of one (a, b), two (c, d) and three (e, f) individuals. Results using quantitative maximum likelihood (a, c and e) and discrete maximum likelihood (b, d and f) parentage assignment are shown—correctly assigned individuals are in grey and incorrectly assigned individuals are represented as a black line. Where applicable, the critical Δ LOD value to achieve a 99% correct assignment rate is indicated by an arrow with the percentage of rejected assignments in parentheses.
