Equivalence between αi and selection coefficient
| s | FST range | Mean | α |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.02 | [0.1; 0.4] | 0.25 | 1.12 |
| 0.05 | [0.2; 0.6] | 0.4 | 1.8 |
| 0.1 | [0.5; 0.8] | 0.65 | 2.8 |
The relationship between the selection coefficients, s, and locus-specific effects αi for a background FST of 0.1 is shown. The second and third columns show the FST's of the loci under selection and were obtained from Figure 2 in Beaumont and Balding (2004). The fourth column shows the α-values for a given FST under selection and is obtained from Figure 2.
