A Bayesian approach to infer geographical origins of migrants through surnames.

Annals of human biology - 1 Jan 2000

Degioanni A, Darlu P

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Surnames are an easy tool to analyse human genetic structure, mobility and evolution. Few studies use surnames to estimate human migration at different geographical level. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: Here we propose the application of a Bayesian method to estimate the probability of geographical origin (pgo) of migrants in a given area using surnames. METHOD: This method can be applied with data recordings...
