Comparison with other methods

Parameters Method γ ρ f
γ = 1, ρ = 1 (f = 1) SummStat 0.58 0.76 0.49
MaxHap 0.63 0.89 0.52
GenCo 0.77 0.96 0.63
γ = 10, ρ = 1 (f = 10) SummStat 0.83 0.77 0.57
MaxHap 0.99 0.81 0.77
GenCo 1 0.94 0.9

For 1000 data sets simulated with ρ = 1 and γ ∈ (1, 10), we compare our results (GenCo) with those from maxHap (Hudson 2001), and for 100 of the same data sets we also show results obtained using a third method (summStat) based on that of Padhukasahasram et al. (2006) (see text). MaxHap was run over a grid of 11 f values ranging from 0 to 2.5 or 25 (inclusive) for the simulated data sets with f = 1 and f = 10, respectively. SummStat was run on a coarse grid of ρ ∈ (8, 10, 20, 40, 45), and γ ∈ (8, 10, 20, 40, 45) for the first test and γ ∈ (80, 100, 200, 400, 450) for the second test. For each parameter γ, ρ, and f we present the proportion of data sets for which the estimated value was within a factor of 2 of the value used to simulate data.
