Table 3.

Properties of the different metrics of F. The theoretically possible range and the expected mean are listed. Observed mean, variance, minimum and maximum were calculated for each of the 280 demes simulated in this study, and their means (e.g., the mean of all 280 observed minima) are reported in this table

Metric of F	Based on	Possible range	Expected mean	Observed mean	Observed variance	Observed minimum	Observed maximum
F ped	Pedigree	[0, 1]	Positive	0.0878	0.0016	0.0005	0.3276
F ROH	Runs of homozygosity	[0, 1]	Positive	0.0925	0.0024	0.0002	0.4095
F H	Hardy–Weinberg expectation	(−∞, ∞)	0	−0.0005	0.0039	−0.1625	0.3560
F alt	Hardy–Weinberg expectation and weight on rare homozygotes	(−∞, ∞)	0	−0.0047	0.0022	−0.0806	0.3432
