Bootstrapping was used to examine the effect of sampling error and measurement error and its correlation on fixed-bin genotype probabilities. Bootstrap confidence intervals (Cls) were made relative to the point estimate using the log of the inverse of the probabilities. ⋯ Database measurement error and its correlation had only a slight effect on multi-locus probability uncertainty. Together, these uncertainties are several orders of magnitude greater than error due to population substructuring of a race by its major component ethnic groups.
