Table 2.

False Positive Rates under Very Low Divergence.

No. loci 2 10 100 1,000
False positive rate (mixture) 0.01 0.05 0.11 0.02
False positive rate (χ12) 0.01 0.02 0.05 0.01
Proportion of zero LRTs 0.25 0.12 0.34 0.52

Note.—False positive rates of LRTs for migration rate are computed when the mixture distribution or an original χ12 are considered as a null distribution. The proportions of zero values of LRTs are computed as well. The true simulation model is the 2-population isolation models with θ1=θ2=θa=5 and TS=106, respectively. The number of loci varies from 2 to 1,000, and two gene copies are simulated from each population.
