This was derived in Kimura 1962.

[math]u(p)=\frac{1-e^{4N_esp}}{1-e^{4N_es}}[/math]

If we are considering the initial frequency of a single new mutation in the population p=1/(2Ne),

[math]u(p)_1=\frac{1-e^{4N_es\frac{1}{2N_e}}}{1-e^{4N_es}}=\frac{1-e^{2s}}{1-e^{4N_es}}[/math].

And if 4Nes is large

[math]u(p)_2\approx\frac{1-e^{2s}}{1}=1-e^{2s}[/math].

[math]e^{2s}\approx 1+2s[/math]

[math]u(p)_2 \approx 1-e^{2s} \approx 1-1+2s = 2s[/math].

This agrees with the results of Fisher 1930 and Wright 1931.

Notes

This is derived from

[math]u(p) = \frac{\int_0^p G(x)dx}{int_0^1 G(x)dx}[/math],

equation 3 of Kimura 1962.
