Description

Hi,

There are many examples using sliding windows to detect introgression regions using D statistic. So, I wander that, could I run qp3Pop to detect introgression regions with sliding windows? If so, does qp3Pop have more power to detect introgression regions compared to D_statistic?

Thanks!
