Parameter values used in two-population model simulations

Values are given for both A (ancient) and B (recent) parameterizations. Parameters are ancestral θ, the proportion of the ancestral population founding population 1 (s), the ratio of current to ancestral size in each population (η), the time of the population split (T), and migration rates into population 1 from population 2 and vice versa (m 12 and m 21).

a:set to produce roughly equal numbers of SNPs across models for a given sample size (A ~ 50,000 SNPs for samples of 100 chromosomes).
