Fig. 3From: Identifying the effect of patient sharing on between-hospital genetic differentiation of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus The power of π, F ST , and the proportion of nearly identical isolates to detect the effect of patient sharing. The proportion of nearly identical isolates is more powerful than π and F ST if the threshold for nearly identical isolates is chosen properly. F ST is more sensitive to changes in patient sharing if patient sharing is high (Model 4). π is less powerful in all four models hereBack to article page
