A number of statistical tests for detecting population growth are described. We compared the statistical power of these tests with that of others available in the literature. The tests evaluated fall into three categories: those tests based on the distribution of the mutation frequencies, on the haplotype distribution, and on the mismatch distribution. We found that, for an extensive variety of cases, the most powerful tests for detecting population growth are Fu'sFStest and the newly developedR2test. The behavior of theR2test is superior for small sample sizes, whereasFSis better for large sample sizes. We also show that some popular statistics based on the mismatch distribution are very conservative.
