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).
