An illustration of two ambiguous typing results with the same number of possible allele sub-types and different level of ambiguity as measured by entropy.

Shown here are typing results for two simulated subjects. They each have six ambiguous sub-types (allele-pairs), but very different entropies. Typing 1 has entropy H = 1.676 and Typing 2 has entropy H = 0.014. Both of these typings come from the same population sample (African American) in which the mean allele entropy for this simulated sample is H = 0.54.
