TABLE 2

Variance of the ln RV test statistic based on computer simulations of 1000 loci in two neutrally evolving populations under the two-phase microsatellite mutation model

	K = 0	K = 0.2	K = 0.4
S = 5	1.44*	1.98*	1.90*
S = 10		2.66*	1.99*

K is the probability of a mutation encompassing more than one repeat unit, and S is the upper boundary of size change by a single mutation event. Θ = 5 (in both populations). *No deviation from normal distribution by Kolmogorov-Smirnov and tail tests (P > 0.3).
