TABLE 2.

The continuous-time limit predictions of linkage disequilibrium ϒ under a modified Wright–Fisher population model

Timescale
Coalescence Recombination Limit process
α > 1 β > 1 Inline graphic
β = 1 Inline graphic
β < 1 0
α = 1 β > 1 ϒ3(φ, ω)
β = 1 ϒ2(η, φ, ω)
β < 1 0
α < 1 β > 1 ϒ(ω)
β = 1 ϒ(ω)
0 < α < β < 1 ϒ(ω)
0 < α = β < 1 ϒ1(η, φ, ω)
0 < β < α < 1 0

The different formulas are the limit (9) obtained given different values of α and β. See text for explanation of symbols. Note that Inline graphic.
