Plots of summary statistics

We also provide plots of several interesting summary statistics. [Plotting] $ \rightarrow$[Data Plotting] contains time-series plots of the values of certain summaries during the course of a run. One example is shown in Figure 7; notice that there is a brief period at the start of the run where the values increase dramatically before reaching their stationary distribution. You should inspect these plots to be sure that the summary statistics seem to stabilize before the end of the burnin. There are also histogram plots of $ F_{ST}$ and $ \alpha$ (Figure 7.7). These are estimates of the posterior distribution of these parameters.
