Example of prior distribution of the parameter D' for α = 1 (column 1) and α = 4 (column 2) and increasing distance between the two SNPs: row 1 d = 0.001 Mb; row 2 d = 0.1 Mb and row 3 d = 0.5 Mb. The x-axis displays D' and the y-axes displays the empirical estimate of the density function inferred with the program WinBugs 1.4.
