An entropy-based measure of founder informativeness.

Genetical research - 1 Feb 2005

Reyes-Valdés M Humberto, Williams Claire G

Abstract excerpt

Optimizing quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping experiments requires a generalized measure of marker informativeness because variable information is obtained from different marker systems, marker distribution and pedigree types. Such a measure can be derived from the concept of Shannon entropy, a central concept in information theory. Here we introduce entropy-based founder informativeness (EFI), a new measure...
