Relative clonality J rel as a function of various parameters. (a) J rel as a function of α, the factor by which the recombination rate at S loci is increased (or decreased when α < 1) over the basal recombination rate at the E and N loci. The value of l n was fixed at 1,024, while the value of n was varied as indicated in the graph. The other parameters were as follows (see Table 1 for notation): r = 10− 7, s e  = 0.01, s i  = 0.1 and r v  = 10− 4. (b) J rel as a function of l n, the number of susceptibility types maintained by NFDS, for various values of n as indicated in the graph. The other parameters were as follows: r = 10− 8, α = 10, s e  = 0.01, s i  = 0.1 and r v  = 10− 4. (c) J rel as a function of r, the recombination rate at the E and N loci. The value of l n was fixed at 1,024, while the values of n, l and α were varied as indicated in the graph. The other parameters were as follows: s e  = 0.01, s i  = 0.1 and r v  = 10− 4.
