Abstract excerpt
MOTIVATION: Low haplotype diversity and linkage disequilibrium are the rule in short genomic segments. This fact suggests that parsimony should be enforced in estimation of haplotype frequencies. The current article introduces a diversity penalty that automatically discards potential haplotypes with low explanatory power. The standard EM algorithm for haplotype frequency estimation can accommodate the penalty if...
