Figure 7
Robustness to randomly distributed errors on recombination rates. Mean (a) and variance (b) of t̂ estimated from populations simulated for successive values of t. All sets of simulations were performed sampling rj in a normal distribution N (0.15, s.e.). Other parameters were fixed to s=0, N=40 and K=10. Symbols 
correspond to s.e.=0, 0.027, 0.036 and 0.05, respectively, corresponding to L=infinite, 200, 100 and 50 (see Materials and methods for details). In (a), deviations from the horizontal dotted lines correspond to bias. In (b), polynomial curves were fitted to the plots to facilitate the reading of the figure.
