Figures

Figure 1 The Effect of Fertility Inheritance on the Balance Measure Mean I′ For each value of the fertility inheritance parameter α, 100 coalescent trees with 100 individuals were simulated. The extremities of the boxes correspond to the first and the third quartiles. The horizontal line in each box represents the median, and the whiskers extend to the most extreme data points. The horizontal line indicates 0.5, the expected value of mean I′ under the neutral coalescent.

Figure 2 The Effect of Population Expansion and Fertility Inheritance on the Balance Measure Mean I′ For each value of the fertility inheritance parameter α and each scenario of population expansion, 100 coalescent trees with 100 individuals were simulated. Each point corresponds to the mean value of the mean I′ for the 100 replicates. The parameter r denotes the geometric rate of the population expansion and S denotes the time, measured in generations, since the beginning of the expansion.

Figure 3 The Effect of the Starting Time T of the Fertility Inheritance Process on the α Value above Which It Is Possible to Detect Imbalanced Trees Tree imbalance was detected when more than 90% of the simulated trees were more unbalanced than expected under the neutral model (type I error = 10%). The starting time is measured backward in time. The parameter τ denotes the length of time, measured in generations, over which fertility inheritance occurred. The solid lines have been obtained using a linear regression between log α and log T.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
