The extent of LD is an important consideration for association mapping as it indicates the relative size of chromosomal segments shared amongst individuals within a population, and thus determines the number of theoretical markers necessary to detect genetic associations to quantitative traits [ 35].
As a result, in reality, spurious deviations of the observed variant frequencies from the theoretical 50% at marker sites will occur due to different sources of experimental error.
With a theoretical increase of marker's length to infinitely large, corresponding bootstraps within a tree will stochastically be maximized as they exactly represent the data.
In the figures, lines represent theoretical results, and markers represent simulation results.
The lines represent the theoretical results, and markers represent the simulation results.
Using estimates of the resolution parameters above, we can compute the theoretical proportion of markers that can be assigned distinct positions in RH maps (Additional file 7), using three assumptions: (i) the RH order is the true order (ii) markers are evenly spaced on the genome and (iii) RH vectors have no missing data or genotyping errors.
Discrepancies between the different models (no interference and partial interference coupled with the different location of the centromere) and the observed data were estimated by the sum of the squared differences between the observed and theoretical values at the marker map positions.
Thus, understanding the contextual factors that increase the vulnerability of certain women to terminate a pregnancy is as important as incorporating these risk markers into theoretical frameworks in order to provide a more comprehensive understanding of this association.
The curves trace out the theoretical disease model at the marker SNP, with lower LD corresponding to points closer to the origin along these curves.

The lines show the theoretical MSE performance and the markers show the results of the computer simulation.
