Table 3: Number of Plausible Models Given Required Parameters and Model Complexity.
Counts and percentage of nested models within a given set of values for the required parameters carrying capacity, mutation rate, and infection duration detailed in the first three columns (the initial bottleneck for all accepted models was the low value or a single virion). Each set of required parameters had a single bottleneck model (columns 4 and 5), 3 recombination models (columns 6 and 7), 27 progeny skew models (columns 8 and 9), and 81 full models (columns 10 and 11). The final two columns represent the count and percentage of accepted models (out of a possible 112) given a set of required parameters.
| Infection Duration | Mutation Rate (μ) | Carrying Capacity (K) | Bottleneck Count | Bottleneck Percent | Recomb. Count | Recomb. Percent | Prog. Skew Count | Prog. Skew Percent | Full Count | Full Percent | All Count | All Percent |
