TABLE 5.

Estimates of the population recombination rate ρ in a 100 kb region

ρ SFP SNP
20 22 0.59 0.92 22 0.78 0.89
40 45 0.48 0.94 42 0.59 0.91
60 66 0.28 1.00 52 0.44 1.00

The SNP case has density one every 10 kb and the SFP case has 70% coverage, 95% specificity, and 50% sensitivity under a dependent calling scheme. In each of the SFP and SNP categories, first column gives the average estimate, the second the RMSE, and the third the proportion of estimates lying within a factor of 2 of the truth.
