Table 3.
Average effective population size obtained for the FIS-based, LD-based, Coancestry-based, the one and two locus correlation-based and the sibship frequency-based methods. For each, the minimum and maximum values are given. These were used to compute the grand average, weighted by the number of usable values (Weights) (values different from 0 or infinity).
| Methods | Average Ne | N e_min | N e_max | Weights |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FIS | 10 | 4 | 17 | 5 |
| LD | 364 | 54 | 965 | 3 |
| Coancestry | 29 | 8 | 87 | 4 |
| Correlations | 14 | 14 | 14 | 1 |
| Sibship | 19 | 11 | 24 | 5 |
| Grand average | 76 | 16 | 192 |
