Figure 6.

Pairwise cosine distance between 200 trained SVMs. SVMs were trained on data simulated under different selection pressures s ∈ [0.01, 0.08], sampled at different times under selection τ ∈ [0, 4000] generations. Boundaries between selection pressures are denoted by black lines and mean times to fixation by blue dashed lines. We observe two similarity blocks at each selection pressure, corresponding to “near fixation”and “postfixation” of the beneficial allele. The stronger the selection (e.g., bottom right) the earlier/shorter the near-fixation stage, and vice versa.
