# bp\_heterogeneity\_test(1p)

a test for distinguishing between selection and population expansion.

## NAME

bp\_heterogeneity\_test - a test for distinguishing between selection and population expansion.

## SYNOPSIS

heterogenetity\_test -mut\_1/--mutsyn synonymous\_mut\_count -mut\_2/--mutnon nonsyn\_mut\_count -s/--smaplesize sample\_size \[-i/--iterations iterations\] \[-o/--observed observed\_D\] \[-v/--verbose\] \[--silent \] \[-m/--method tajimaD or fuD\] \[--precision\]

### DESCRIPTION

This is an implementation of the Heterogenetity test as described in Hahn MW, Rausher MD, and Cunningham CW. 2002. Genetics 161(1):11-20.

### OPTIONS

```
 Options in brackets above are optional
 -s or --samplesize samplesize

 -mut_2 or --mutnon nonsynonmous mutation count
 -i or --iterations number of iterations
 -o or --observed   observed D
 -m or --method     tajimaD or fuD  for Tajima's D or Fu and Li's D
 -v or --verbose    print out extra verbose messages
 --silent           Be extra quiet
 --precision        Level of precision - specify the number of digits
                   (default 4)
