TABLE 2.
Coverage probabilities of confidence intervals obtained using the summary statistics method
| γa | ρa | P(γ)b | P(ρ)b |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | 5 | 0.941 | 0.927 |
| 10 | 10 | 0.966 | 0.899 |
| 15 | 15 | 0.913 | 0.919 |
| 20 | 20 | 0.871 | 0.925 |
| 30 | 30 | 0.887 | 0.940 |
a
γ and ρ denote the true values of the gene-conversion and crossing-over rates under which data sets were simulated.
b
P(γ) and P(ρ) denote the fraction of the data sets for which the true values of conversion or crossing over lie within the confidence intervals with 90–91% of the total posterior probability.
