trial the z-statistic, measuring the difference between two PRS approaches, was computed, and a two-sided p value was obtained; results were summarized across trials by taking the median p value. While using r as a measure of accuracy has the added benefit of being independent from heritability, in admixed individuals we also calculate the proportion of variance (R2) for total trait liability (genetic and environmental component) explained by the estimated PRS.
