Enhancing the mathematical properties of new haplotype homozygosity statistics for the detection of selective sweeps
I’m really pleased to share that my paper with Noah Rosenberg on the mathematical properties of H12 and H2/H1 is now published in Theoretical Population Biology. In this paper we introduce a normalization for the H2/H1 statistic as a function of H12 and show that the two statistics must be used in conjunction with each other to be able to differentiate hard and soft sweeps.
