Figure 5.

Correlation coefficient between each estimator (metric) and true F as a function of the dropout rate at each locus. The number of loci was fixed at 20, each locus had 10 alleles with frequencies drawn from a uniform Dirichlet distribution, and individual F values were drawn from a beta distribution with a mean and variance of 0.05 and 0.005, respectively. The dotted grey line (denoted as F(L^*)) shows the correlation between F values and likelihood estimates obtained by ignoring allelic dropouts (d=0).
