The phrase "assignment of parentage" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in legal or formal contexts, particularly when discussing the legal determination of a child's parentage or custody arrangements.
Example: "The court issued an assignment of parentage to establish the legal father of the child."
Alternatives: "determination of parentage" or "establishment of parentage."
It is therefore likely that the panel may be used for assignment of parentage.
The Δ criterion calculated for assignment of parentage was between 1.44 and 5.14 in different years for 95% confidence, and between 0 and 2.94 for 80% confidence where one parent was known (Table 2).
Predictions and exclusions were also made for the remaining 33 offspring although the definitive assignment of parentage was not possible in these cases.
Critical Delta criteria [defined as the difference in LOD (the natural log of the overall likelihood ratio) scores between the most likely paternal parent and the second most likely paternal parent] were obtained from simulations and used as a criterion for assignment of parentage.
In order to establish the confidence level of each assignment, Cervus conducts simulations of parentage assignment.
Multiplexing microsatellite markers would further improve the efficiency of parentage assignment protocols in large-scale rainbow trout selection programs.
The method does this without the aid of parentage assignment or other complex statistical calculation of association to the trait.
Cervus uses a likelihood-based method of parentage assignment given allele frequencies of variable loci within the target population.
To demonstrate the utility of the SNP assay we conducted an assessment of parentage assignment within the insurance population.
Finally, we explored Colony (Jones and Wang 2010) as an alternative method of parentage assignment and found virtually identical results (average = 98.7% identical across four runs).
As an additional validation of parentage assignment accuracy, known locations of parents during spawning were compared to natal rivers of assigned families for congruence.
