J Forensic Sci Soc. 1991 Jan-Mar;31(1):49-58. doi: 10.1016/s0015-7368(91)73117-4.

Abstract

A scheme is offered for the calculation of blood group frequencies for mixed racial populations. The issue of which population to model is discussed. Consideration is also given to the racial composition of the desired survey and to the rule of mutual independence. The scheme can in many cases be applied to existing data.
