Log-likelihood curves for the exponential model of population growth for data on segregating sites from the mtDB database [25].

Abstract

<p>Each segregating site from <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0170701#pone.0170701.t002" target="_blank">Table 2</a> was treated as a separate SNP. The curve marked with asterisks shows the exact log likelihood function and the one marked with open circles is the approximate log likelihood function. The maximum of the exact log likelihood function is attained at and the maximum of the approximate log likelihood function is attained at .</p
