Towards Simulation Optimization: An Examination of the Impact of Scaling on Coalescent and Forward Simulations

Tessa Ferrari, Siyuan Feng, Xinjun Zhang, Jazlyn A. Mooney

This paper examines how scaling affects coalescent and forward simulations in human and Drosophila populations, finding that scaling impacts diversity estimates, runtime, and selection effects differently in each species.
