StructHDP: automatic inference of number of clusters and population structure from admixed genotype data

Suyash Shringarpure, Daegun Won, Eric P. Xing

Abstract: Clustering of genotype data is an important way of understanding similarities and differences between populations. A summary of populations through clustering allows us to make inferences about the evolutionary history of the populations. Many methods have been proposed to perform clustering on multilocus genotype data. However, most of these methods do not directly address the question of how many clusters the data should be divided into and leave that choice to the user.
