Abstract
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.
