Gm 3;5,13,14 and stated-admixture: independent estimates of admixture in American Indians.
Bernstein's formula for the estimation of the amount of admixture (m) in a hybrid population has been used frequently since its publication in 1931. While mathematically correct, it has not been shown to be correct in practice, because an independent estimate from a large sample has not been available. We have compared the estimate of m for Caucasian admixture derived by using Bernstein's formula with that estimated from stated-admixture (Sa) within a sample of 5,759 Native Americans. There was a linear relationship between the two variables (m = -.000275 + .714Sa; r = .976 for the grouped data, P = .0001).
