Modeling Neutral Evolution Using an Infinite-Allele Markov Branching Process

Figure 5

Comparison between the simulated and expected finite-time (𝑡=2) frequency spectra of the infinite-allele birth and death process with 𝑖=100, 𝑎=1, 𝛼=0.25, and 𝜇=0.01. In each class 𝑗, 1≤𝑗≤10, the first black bar represents the expected frequency spectrum and the rest 10 white bars represent 10 replicates of the simulated frequency spectrum. (a) mean frequency spectrum 𝜓_𝑗 in semi-logarithmic scale; (b) variance frequency spectrum 𝜉_𝑗 in semi-logarithmic scale.
