The natural logarithm of the ratio of male to female contributions in African-Americans, as inferred from the data of Cheng et al. (2009). (A) The range (excluding infinity, produced when a parameter value is zero), median, and 25th and 75th percentiles of the natural logarithm of the ratio of male to female contributions from S1 (Africans) and S2 (Europeans) separately for the sex-specific contributions that produced D0.01 (Equation 25). Values from Africans, S1, are largely negative, or female biased, whereas contributions from Europeans, S2, are mostly positive and male biased. Approximately 26.15% of the contributions from Africans are male biased and 9.25% from Europeans are female biased. This pattern is typically observed when a still larger sex bias occurs in the other population. (B) The logarithm of the ratio of male and female contributions from S2 on the y-axis and the corresponding ratio for S1 on the x-axis, plotted by the density of points in 0.05 square bins. For the cases with male bias in Africa (ln(s1m/s1f)>0), the level of male bias in Europe is also positive; for the cases with female bias in Europe (ln(s2m/s2f)<0), the level of female bias from Africa is also negative. Parameter sets in which at least one parameter is 0, and therefore we have values of +∞ or −∞ for ln(s1m/s1f) or ln(s2m/s2f), appear in bins on the edge of the plot for convenience. These bins contain a substantial number of parameter sets.
