N0, N1, N2, and NA, effective population size (number of gene copies) in ancestral (N0), parental (N1 and N2), and admixed (NA) populations, respectively; λ, contribution of parental population 1 to the admixed population; tADM, time since admixture; tDIV, divergence time between parental populations before admixture; Inline graphic and μi, average and individual-locus mutation rates, respectively; Inline graphic and Pi, average and individual-locus parameters of the geometric distribution of the GSM, respectively; *Prior distribution for Pi is as follows: if Inline graphic ≥ 0.001 then P = Beta(a, b) with a = 0.5 + 199Inline graphic and b = a(1 − Inline graphic)/Inline graphic; otherwise P = 0. IR, irrelevant.
