Consistency test
Spagedi and GenAPoPop reported similar values of Ae, He, Ho and Rhost (Table S1). Ae and He were corrected by sample size in Spagedi but not in GenAPoPop, explaining the little differences observed. GenAPoPop uses double-precision floating-point format (64 bits) while, to our knowledge, Spagedi uses a lower precision that can also add up along the calculations. GenAPoPop intentionally computes estimators with limited ’correction’ to avoid to give more weight to some loci rather than other which may bias the global picture of a dataset (see formulas in Documentation).
