Figure 1

Weighting on markers given favourable marker allele frequencies in Jannink and dynamic weighting ( w J and w D ). The time horizon is 15 generations, and t is the generation number. Dynamic weighting in the left plot is under α = 0.2 and that in the right plot is under α = 0.05. Note that weights were scaled by dividing the minimal possible value (given a favourable allele frequency (p) equal to 0.999), so the minimum value for all weights in generation t becomes 1. When the frequency of markers approaches 0.4, the weight is almost equivalent to 1, thus those markers are not included in the figure.
