How do I quantify Vahaduo distances?

[yngviktor]

I don't really understand how to quantify distances on vahaduo, for example:
what does it mean if my distance is
0.008...
or 0.01...
or 0.02...
etc. someone explain to me, thanks

It's a distance measure of divergence from you and that sample.

A 0.0327 equates to @3.2 on Gedmatch, and 0.7891 would be @78.9 if that's what you mean. It's just in base 100.

Yes but what does 0.008 for example mean, how can i quantify it, like how distance can be my sample with my father's or mother's?

Usually we consider things below 3 to be very close (0.03 on vahaduo), 3 to 5 close, 5 to 10 relatively close. Beyond that, not that close, in the intra euro context at least.

For Europeans you can almost see that as a percentile from 0 to 80, where the most distant would be 80 with Africans on vahaduo, but depends a little bit on the calculator too.
