Abstract excerpt
The composite-likelihood estimator (CLE) of the population recombination rate considers only sites with exactly two alleles under a finite-sites mutation model (McVean, G. A. T., P. Awadalla, and P. Fearnhead. 2002. A coalescent-based method for detecting and estimating recombination from gene sequences. Genetics 160:1231-1241). While in such a model the identity of alleles is not considered, the CLE has been...
