There are two ways of choosing a K value for any given dataset that one wishes to perform an ADMIXTURE run on, one is to throw a dart at a random set of numbers and hope it works out for the very best, the other is to run ADMIXTURE at different K's while computing a cross validation error for each of the K values using the --cv flag, I did this with the studentized global dataset that I discussed earlier in this post. The Cross Validation error values for K 1-14 for that particular dataset can be seen in the graphs below,
close up :
While the CV-Error values do not start flattening out until about K=10, the CV error values do not start inflecting until K=13, meaning K=13 is the appropriate choice for this dataset.
Cross Validation can take a considerably long time to run, as each consecutive K has to be evaluated along with its error separately, unless one has access to a very fast machine off-course.
As a reference, the Bash shell code to run Cross Validation in ADMIXTURE for up-to K=14 is:
for K in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14; \
do ./admixture32 -j2 --cv=14 “filename.bed” $K | tee log${K}.out; done
where CV error values will be recorded in the .out files for each K.
