Table 2. Parameters in the branch-site model.

Site class Proportion Background ω Foreground ω
0 p 0 0<ω0<1 0<ω 0<1
1 p 1 ω1 = 1 ω1 = 1
2a (1−p 0p 1)p 0/(p 0+p 1) 0<ω0<1 ω2≥1
2b (1−p 0p 1)p 1/(p 0+p 1) ω1 = 1 ω2≥1

Note. This is the alternative model of the branch-site test of positive selection.

The null model fixes ω2 = 1.
