would be great to side step that all using tskit stats....

yeah, agreed! but maybe it would help _someone_? obviously not high priority

yeah i haven't finished up code to deal with soft sweeps / neutral allele freq trajectories.

Slatkin's results from this old paper would be perfect for testing the `SMM` https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1206343/

how would you two feel about using this script as an external software check for verification? https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1471-8286.2006.01286.x looking at the other mutation model verifications it looks like you are using...

let's see what Jerome says. the tests you point to above are a lot like what's already going on in `test_mutations.py` already i think

okay so #2085 has the first verification which is a test of the variance of a sample under SMM. that's basically the _only_ analytical result that i've been able to...

happy to help @jeromekelleher @GertjanBisschop

if i follow, don't we already have this info in the segment label?
