Table 1. Glossary of Notation.

Symbol Usage
N Population size (with 2N haplotypes)
σ Proportion of matings that are self-fertilizing
F Wright’s inbreeding coefficient, probability of identity-by-descent at a single gene, equal to σ/(2σ) at steady-state
Φ Joint probability of identity-by-descent at two loci (Equation 1)
Ne Effective population size, equal to N/(1+F) with selfing
r Recombination rate between loci A and B
reff ‘Effective’ recombination rate, approximately equal to r(12F+Φ) with selfing
R 2Nr, the population-level recombination rate
p0 Frequency at which the derived allele at B becomes advantageous
p0,A Accelerated (effective) starting frequency of B appearing as a single copy, conditional on fixation
s Selective advantage of derived allele at B
h Dominance coefficient of derived allele at B
t Number of generations in the past from the present day
τp0 Time in the past when derived locus became beneficial
p(t) Frequency of beneficial allele at time t
Pc Probability of coalescence at time t

PR,Sd Probability that neutral marker recombines during standing phase
PM,Sw Probability that a lineage mutates during sweep phase
PM,Sd Probability that a lineage mutates during standing phase
Hl, Hh ‘Effective’ dominance coefficient for allele at low, high frequency
π Pairwise diversity at site (π0 is expected value without a sweep)
πSV Pairwise diversity following sweep from standing variation
πM Pairwise diversity following sweep from recurrent mutation
μ Probability of neutral mutation occurring per site per generation
