FIG. 3.

BIC score for the seven simulated datasets. The model correctly chooses K for up to five original haplotypes. The boxplots summarize results of 50 independent datasets. The numbers in parentheses report the number of original generators plus the number of recombinants. The maximum BIC is attained at the true number K of generators for all datasets except #6, where the maximum BIC is at K = 7, but our model selection selects the true K = 6 (dashed lines report upper and lower boundaries of the one standard error of K = 7).
