Patterns of the log likelihood for different values of recombination for the base model. The x-axis shows the value of σ, the parameter for the distance between parent and offspring infections. The log-likelihood is a measure of support from the data for the parameter values. Red solid line: the base model with probability of recombination in multiply infected individuals set to 0.5; Green line: 0.0; Blue line: 1.0.
