We apply the ensemble Kalman filter to this representation of the state, and numerically demonstrate that acceptable results are obtained with substantially smaller ensemble sizes.
Therefore, it is unlikely that substantially different results would be obtained with alternative protocols.
While paired end reads, substantially improve the mapping accuracy, our results also suggest that for species with a compact genome, such as D. melanogaster, a very high mapping accuracy could be obtained with 50 bp reads.
The highest accuracy for fat percentage was obtained with subsets including substantially less SNP than the high-density assay and this suggests that part of the advantage of BayesB over PLSR and RR in the simulations stems from the fact that it simultaneously performs shrinkage of marker coefficients and marker selection [ 34].
The overall accuracy of the Tangram genotypes, obtained by a judicious weighting of heterozygous and homozygous events, is high, over 96%, in every category, again, substantially higher than what was obtained with RetroSeq.
For high values, however, it is clear that more benefits are obtained with max-normalized SNR as similar results are obtained in terms of outage probability but the fairness among relays is substantially improved.
Because the US population data were obtained with consistent standards, were always available to at least county-level resolution, and were gathered by a single source (US Census Bureau), we had substantially higher confidence in these data.
