A comparison of three estimators of the population-scaled recombination rate: accuracy and robustness.

Abstract excerpt

We have performed simulations to assess the performance of three population genetics approximate-likelihood methods in estimating the population-scaled recombination rate from sequence data. We measured performance in two ways: accuracy when the sequence data were simulated according to the (simplistic) standard model underlying the methods and robustness to violations of many different aspects of the standard...
