Table 1.

Notation Used to Describe the Model.

n Number of haplotypes with the selected allele
m Number of haplotypes without the selected allele
L Number of SNPs flanking the selected site (one side considered at a time)
X n × L matrix of haplotypes with the selected allele
H m × L matrix of haplotypes without the selected allele
Xij Allele in haplotype i at SNP j, where i{1,,n}, and j{1,,L}
Hzj Allele in haplotype z at SNP j, where z{1,,m}, and j{1,,L}
Aj Allele at site j on the ancestral haplotype
Zij The reference panel haplotype from which Xi copies at site j
tca Time to the most recent common ancestor (TMRCA)
Wi The location of the first recombination event off of the ancestral haplotype
r Recombination rate per basepair per generation
μ Mutation rate per basepair per generation
θ Haplotype miscopying rate, or population-scaled mutation rate (4Nμ)
ρ Haplotype switching rate, or population-scaled recombination rate (4Nr)
dw Physical distance of site w from the selected site, where w{1,,L}
cj Number of basepairs between sites j and j + 1
αiw Likelihood of haplotype i for sites 1,,w
βiw Likelihood of haplotype i for SNPs (w+1),,L
