Dodecad Oracle (K12a edition)

I have created a new version of the Dodecad Oracle for use with the K12a calculator.

You can refer to the original Dodecad Oracle for detailed usage instructions.

(The only difference in the use of the program is that the number of populations is 204, so make sure to use this if you plan to remove any reference populations, as mentioned in the instructions)

In short:

• you first load the file DodecadOracleK12a.RData in R. You can do this by double-clicking on this file in Windows, or using the File->Load Workspace menu. In Linux, you can use the "load" command, e.g., load('/home/ubuntu/Desktop/DodecadOracleK12a.RData')
• You then enter commands at the command prompt

Some examples:

Comparing a population against other populations

Comparing an individual against populations

DodecadOracle(c(8.4, 0, 2.8, 6, 2.2, 0.1, 40.3, 25.9, 0.3, 11.9, 1.5, 0.5))

[,1] [,2]

[1,] "Iranian_D" "2.2405"

[8,] "Iranian_Jews" "18.14"

[9,] "Assyrian_D" "18.8968"

[10,] "Azerbaijan_Jews" "18.9444"

Comparing an individual against 2-way population mixes

DodecadOracle(c(28, 0.8, 1.6, 49.9, 1.9, 0, 10.6, 4.1, 0, 2.4, 0, 0.6),mixedmode=T)

[,1] [,2]

[1,] "47.7% French_D + 52.3% Mordovians_Y" "2.5849"

[2,] "48.3% French + 51.7% Mordovians_Y" "2.6012"

[3,] "36.3% Spaniards + 63.7% Mordovians_Y" "2.9985"

[4,] "36% Spanish_D + 64% Mordovians_Y" "3.0577"

[5,] "65.9% Russian_D + 34.1% Spaniards" "3.0923"

[6,] "35.9% IBS + 64.1% Mordovians_Y" "3.0943"

[8,] "66.4% Russian_D + 33.6% IBS" "3.2359"

[9,] "24.5% Swedish_D + 75.5% Hungarians" "3.3021"

[10,] "39.3% French_D + 60.7% Ukranians_Y" "3.4046"

The numbers to the right of each result represent the "goodness" of the match; the lower, the better. If you wanted to list the top-30 results, in any of the above commands, you would enter, e.g.,

DodecadOracle(c(28, 0.8, 1.6, 49.9, 1.9, 0, 10.6, 4.1, 0, 2.4, 0, 0.6),mixedmode=T, k=30)
