Figure 2.

Distributions of the number of replicates over 100 for which the oldest, the most recent, both and none of the simulated expansion events were correctly estimated, for each marker and scenario. An expansion event was considered to be correctly estimated when the three parameters set in the simulations (N_e, g and t) were included in the HPD (95% highest probability density) interval of the estimations. (a) Slow intermediate + rapid recent expansion, (b) rapid intermediate + rapid recent expansion, (c) slow ancient + rapid recent expansion and (d) rapid ancient + rapid recent expansion.
