Abstract excerpt
Realized kinship is a key statistic in analyses of genetic data involving relatedness of individuals or structure of populations. There are several estimators of kinship that make use of dense SNP genotypes. We introduce a class of estimators, of which some existing estimators are special cases. Within this class, we derive properties of the estimators and determine an optimal estimator. Additionally, we...
