Criterion for Evaluating Sets of htSNPs

Use this parameter to specify how the set of htSNPs is chosen from the full set of diallelic markers.

Available choices are listed in the following table:

Criterion	Definition
PDE	Proportion of Diversity Explained (See Clayton, 2002 1 for more information)
RSQH	Rh-Squared Measure (See Stram et al., 2003 2 for more information)
