Abstract
This paper generalizes methods of estimating two-locus sampling distributions to situations when there are diploid data and/or outgroup information. The author also presents a composite-likelihood estimator of the population recombination rate that is computationally efficient, more generally applicable, and as accurate as (or more accurate than) all previously proposed estimators.Keywords
