How to predict individual ethnicity information by using hapmap data

Question

[Joe]

Hi all,

I want to predict the ethnicity information of individuals by using ML method. HapMap genotype data were treated as training set, and unknown individuals' genotype data as testing set. Because this is my first time to do the ethnicity prediction, anyone can give some detail informations (such as methods, typical workflows) or articles making it easy to follow? Many thanks!!!
