A Probabilistic Approach to Visualize the Effect of Missing Data on PCA in Ancient Human Genomics
2025-03-11
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is widely used in population genetics to visualize genetic relationships. Methods like SmartPCA enable the projection of ancient samples despite missing genotype data due to degraded DNA, but do not quantify projection uncertainty, risking misinterpretation. We introduce TrustPCA, a probabilistic framework that models the impact of missing loci and pro...
