My MyHeritage results with "cousin" comparison

[Adamastor]

Particularly when i got my MyHeritage results i just ignored their ethnicity estimates and downloaded the raw data. They gave me absurd amounts of Scandinavian.
Anyway, for people like us MyHeritage has the best cost-benefit since it is cheap and they use the same chip as other huge companies, so the raw data will have the same quality. 23andme's raw data has one of the worst qualities, but they compensate it with phenotype predictions and uniparentals.

I think the biggest problem with their calculator is the label they give to some components, what makes a lot of people confused. Most things they predict are really there in fact, they just ascribe these things in a retarded and completely random way. They are promising to improve, if what they revealed is true they will be the best company. But we still need to see the promised upload.

I did 23andme and MyHeritage and 23andme was much better in their ethnicity estimate, even if I can understand the estimates of MyHeritage as well. Do you think MyHeritage has better raw data? My K13 is slightly different using MyHeritage, FTDNA or 23andme:

MyHeritage

Admix Results (sorted):

1 North_Atlantic 33.41
2 West_Med 23.17
3 East_Med 17.30
4 Baltic 16.95
5 West_Asian 5.61
6 Northeast_African 1.87
7 East_Asian 1.16

23andme (V5 chip)

Admix Results (sorted):

1 North_Atlantic 33.63
2 West_Med 22.39
3 East_Med 18.32
4 Baltic 17.02
5 West_Asian 4.68
6 Northeast_African 2.60
7 East_Asian 1.79


I'm having a hard time to believe in most of these calculators, even GEDmatch. They also have low SNP covering compared with genome sequencing and things like that, so I take this mostly as a funny stuff; the only ethnicity estimates that look really good for most people are the ones using nMonte.

GEDmatch gives me East Asian and African even if I don't have such ancestries.

MyHeritage raw data is objectively better because it covers more snps than 23andme. There is a table on the internet comparing all of these tests.
I remember MyHeritage used the same chip as FTDNA. I don't know if that is still the case.
Keep in mind that not all snps tested are used for ethnicity estimates, but generally the more snps tested implies in more useful snps. GEDmatch is prehistoric so let's just ignore it, this field evolved and is still evolving very quickly. G25 is the best amateur tool and qpAdm is the best formal admixture tool, period.

Amerindian 1.17 Pct
East_Asian 0.12 Pct
African 5.19 Pct

I hate this calc. because of the stupid and vague reference populations. What the heck is "southern?"

Yes but it's useful if you want to check your African or Amerindian percentage. You are probably 3% "recent" black (post 1500) and 2% Iberomaurusian.

Where are your 4 grandparents come form?

Usually Basques and Navarres scored high in Iberian.

Todos te dan un porcentaje considerable de noroeste europeo. Has probado el livingdna?

Antes de ayer metí mi raw pero hay que pagar para ver los resultados, solo puedo ver que soy 100% europeo según ellos.
