False positive rates obtained with HMMA, HMMB, CLsw, and SweepFinder for various population bottleneck scenarios are shown. Parameters are n = 30, L = 100 kb. Type I error is 5% for simulations with constant population size. Time is in units of 2N generations. The depth of a bottleneck is the factor by which the population size is reduced.
