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.

此处展示了两名模拟受试者的分型结果。二者各包含六组歧义亚型（等位基因对，allele-pairs），但熵值差异显著：分型1的熵值H=1.676，分型2的熵值H=0.014。两类分型均取自同一非裔美国人群样本，该模拟样本的平均等位基因熵值为H=0.54。
