abstract: Ancestry-specific rare variant burden testing for admixed populations. Splits
  genotype dosages by local ancestry (as inferred by 'RFMix') into per-ancestry dosages,
  using either phased haplotypes or unphased genotypes, where ambiguous mixed-ancestry
  heterozygotes are split with shrinkage toward 1/2, and writes them to 'SeqArray'
  GDS files. Ancestry-stratified gene-level tests are then run with the 'SMMAT' framework
  of Chen et al. (2019) <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ajhg.2018.12.012> as implemented
  in 'GMMAT', and the per-ancestry p-values are combined with the Cauchy combination
  test of Liu and Xie (2020) <https://doi.org/10.1080/01621459.2018.1554485>.
