Figure 1.

Correlation coefficient between each estimator (metric) and true F as a function of the variance of F. A total of 10 markers, each having 10 alleles with frequencies drawn from a uniform Dirichlet distribution, are used in calculating the F estimators (metrics). In the simulations, an individual F value was drawn from a beta distribution with a fixed mean of 0.05, and with a variance increasing from 0.0001 to 0.0256 on the x axis.
