Figure 9.

Likelihood surface (Equation 14) of the unfolded SFS (given the ML rooted tree) of the sardine mtDNA sequences with $k=106$ and $s=78.$ Contours show the $0.95,0.9675,0.975,0.99,$ $0.99225,0.9945,0.99675,$ $0.999,0.99945,$ and 0.9999 quantiles. Likelihoods below the 0.95 quantile are uniformly colored in gray. The black star shows the maximum likelihood estimates $\psi =0.46$ and $\widehat{\rho }=0.$
