  1. The population bottleneck model parameters used to generate simulated datasets to test the accuracy of the proposed composite likelihood method. Parameters t1 is the time since the bottleneck recovery, t2 is the duration of the bottleneck, h is the ratio of the effective population size of the X compared to the autosomes, α1 is the current size of the bottlenecked population relative to the non-bottlenecked population, α2 is the relative size of the bottlenecked population during the reduction phase, and α3 is the relative size of the ancestral population. Both time parameters are in units of twice the current effective population size of the non-bottlenecked population.
