Disclosed are methods and system for predicting data-source influences on one or more data manifestations of a named entity. The method includes receiving an inheritance dataset of the named entity. The method determines first and second portions of the inheritance dataset of the named entity. The method determines an aggregated data-bit association score for the named entity based on the inheritance dataset at an identified subset of the data-bit regions. The method determines aggregated data-bit association scores associated with the first and second data source based on the first and second portions of the inheritance dataset at the identified subset of the data-bit regions. The method selects one of the first and second data sources as having a measure of influence on a data manifestation of the named entity corresponding to the identified subset of the data-bit regions.

Determination of data-source influence on data manifestations

A computing device may receive an inheritance dataset of a target named entity. The device may access a plurality of clusters associated with a region, each cluster comprising inheritance data for a plurality of reference panel named entities. The device may determine that the inheritance dataset of the target named entity has at least a threshold amount of inheritance sequences that are classified to the region. The device may compare, for each cluster, the inheritance dataset of the target named entity to the reference panel named entities in the cluster to identify similarities and shared inheritance segments between the target named entity and the reference panel named entities. The device may determine, for each cluster, a metric based on the inheritance segments shared. The device may assign the target named entity to one or more ethnicities based on the comparison between the metric and the threshold specific to the cluster.
