This confidence level is typical with bayesian likelyhood estimates. Have you ever used snipper3? try it, it will give you stuff like "80,000,000...

My issue isn't that the model predicted olive skin. It's the confidence level. If my actual phenotype doesn't match the prediction, maybe the model...

The point is to predict phenotype based on DNA, not on ethnicity. There are Spaniards with a nordic phenotype. The aim of my tool is so that these...

Maybe the issue is that the tool just isn't as accurate? How is the tool supposed to know that an "olive skinned" blue eyed Spaniard isn't a...

Ok. You have: HERC2 - rs916977 1 ^ the average northern european has 2 derived variants here HERC2 - rs12913832 1 HERC2 - rs1129038 1 ^these...

But that is exactly what YOU are implying - your tool predicted over 95% probability of olive skin in my case because of HERC2 heterozygosity,...

once again, you're ignoring the impact of other genes. A couple of posts above i showed globular amphora results with my trait predictor. Light skin,...

There are millions of pale skinned Europeans with brown eyes. If HERC2 heterozygosity or a brown eye genotype were enough to predict olive skin then...

yes, thats the biggest reason. If you didnt have derived SLC24A5, SLC45A2, you would've scored light or dark brown. Out of genotypes that...

You stated the reason I scored olive skin with your tool was because I am heterozygous for HERC2

some examples of globular amphorans that score palest or white skin tone while being heterozygous for HERC2 (hazel eye prediction)

yeah right. read my other replies. HERC2 isn't the single biggest factor in my trait predictor's skin color panel. It's just one of the genes that...

HERC2 affects primarily eye color, skin pigmentation is influenced by multiple genes. If HERC2 was solely responsible most brown eyed Europeans would...

no. It is possible to score white, and even palest skin tone with my tool while having hetero HERC2. My tool's skin color prediction takes SLC24A5,...

So, what you're saying is any European without blue eyes (ie not homozygous for HERC2 blue eyed SNPs) has "Olive Skin" Just from observation of...
