8. How to cite mobest

If you use mobest for a scientific publication, please cite [Schmid and Schiffels, 2023]:

@article{Schmid2023,
  doi = {10.1073/pnas.2218375120},
  url = {https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2218375120},
  year = {2023},
  month = feb,
  publisher = {Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences},
  volume = {120},
  number = {9},
  author = {Clemens Schmid and Stephan Schiffels},
  title = {Estimating human mobility in Holocene Western Eurasia with large-scale ancient genomic data},
  journal = {Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences}
}

In the materials section you should

• document the specific software version you used

• explain the input data, specifically

  • how the input data was prepared and selected

  • how the spatial and temporal positions for each input sample was defined

  • how the position in dependent variable space was obtained (e.g. PCA on genotype data)

• list the kernel parameter settings and explain how they were obtained

Naturally all code and data used to generate the mobest results should be shared with the publication to ensure computational reproducibility.
