Distributions (Verify Gender)

The Distributions tab is shown below:

The Distributions tab contains the following elements:

•

A set of distributions.

This tab displays the distribution for the three variables computed by this process, GeneticSex, GenderError, and HetPercent.

For GeneticSex and GenderError, which are binary variables, frequencies are shown for the two possible values, with counts given below the chart. GeneticSex is calculated according to the Heterozygosity values specified using the Maximum X Chromosome Heterozygosity for Males and the Minimum X Chromosome Heterozygosity for Females parameters in the process dialog. In this example, there was no Sex variable in the original data set, so GenderError is always reported as 1, but when the Sex variable does exist, this will be 1 when the original sex and GeneticSex do not match and 0 otherwise.

For HetPercent, the percentage of heterozygosity on the X chromosome for each individual, a Histogram and Box Plot are displayed along with quantiles and summary statistics.
