Figure 3. Correlation across distance.

Figure 3

Correlation based on simulations (Inline graphic replicates) of the statistic Inline graphic of the true tree. Pearson's correlation coefficient is measured between Inline graphic and Inline graphic for pairs of trees at position Inline graphic and position Inline graphic. Three scenarios are compared: standard neutral model with constant population size (green), population bottleneck (blue) and selective sweep (red). Sample size Inline graphic, Inline graphic, Inline graphic and a recombinaton rate of Inline graphic is assumed. The bottleneck parameters are: Inline graphic, Inline graphic. The selective sweep has a strength of Inline graphic. The selected site is at position Inline graphic. Under standard neutrality, Inline graphic correlation is reached at position Inline graphic cM, corresponding to about Inline graphic bp.
