fastSTRUCTURE: Variational Inference of Population Structure in Large SNP Data Sets

Tools for estimating population structure from genetic data are now used in a wide variety of applications in population genetics. However, inferring population structure in large modern data sets imposes severe computational challenges. Here, we develop efficient algorithms for approximate inferenc...
