Figure 2

Benchmarking of SPARE, SSBL and MMA on the strong linkage (a) and on the unbalanced allele scenario (b) against random selections. As for Figure 1, the posterior distribution obtained when phenotyping all available individuals is considered as the target distribution. Each boxplot shows the Kullback-Leibler distance (KL distance, Equation 6) from the posterior of each selection to the target distribution for 100 simulation runs. Boxplots are grouped by selection sample size and selection method. For each selection size, the KL distance is expressed in terms of quantile within 100 random selections for SPARE (pink), SSBL (blue) and MMA (green). Horizontal grey line marks the median KL within the random selections.
