This is the first time, in all the correspondence from Dr. Frudakis,
where he says that the first confidence interval ("the 2 fold space," as
he calls it, here) is a "better answer" than the MLE. So, everybody get
out your red crayon and color in the inside of the arc of the first
confidence ring on your triangle plots. (And, don't forget to project
and extend the arc of the ring outside of the triangle!) Somewhere (and
it could be anywhere) within this giant red blotch are your most likely
ancestral percentages (that is, before possible systematic error is
figured in). Would you have paid for these test results, if you really
understood that this would be your answer?
