Faster model-based estimation of ancestry proportions by Santander, Cindy G., Refoyo Martinez, Alba, Meisner, Jonas

“…We present a new model-based approach, fastmixture, which adopts aspects from likelihood-free approaches for parameter initialization, followed by a mini-batch expectation-maximization procedure to model the standard likelihood. In a simulation study, we demonstrate that the model-based approaches of fastmixture and ADMIXTURE are significantly more accurate than recent and likelihood-free approaches. …”
