• Missing Funding

In the original publication [1], the funder Polish National Science Center, 2021/41/B/NZ2/04134 to Marek Kimmel (MK) was not included. The correct funding should be as follows:

“This research was funded by a subsidy for the maintenance and development of research potential BKM-538/RAU1/2022 (02/040/BKM22/1031) granted by the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education (M.K.K), the Polish National Science Center grant 2018/29/B/ST7/02550 (R.J.), the European Union through the European Social Fund grant POWR.03.02.00-00-I029 (P.K.), the NSF/DMS Rapid Collaborative grant NSF/DMS-2030577 to Marek Kimmel and Simon Tavaré (M.K.), and the Polish National Science Center grant 2021/41/B/NZ2/04134 to Marek Kimmel (M.K.).”

• Text Correction

There was an error in the original publication. Practical computations of the SFS based on Tung–Durrett model were carried out using notation $\alpha =1+{\lambda }_0/{\lambda }_1$. However, this is inconsistent with the original notation $\alpha ={\lambda }_0/{\lambda }_1$. The correction makes expressions (6) and (7) consistent with the original notation.

A correction has been made to Materials and Methods, SFS under Birth-and-Death Process Model with Mutation and Selection, paragraph 1:

Under these hypotheses, if the fitnesses of the two types are λ₀ < λ₁, then the site frequency spectrum approximately follows the power curve, in our notation

$$S\left(x\right)={Cx}^{-(1+\alpha )},x=1,\dots ,n$$

(6)

hence the tail T(x) = ∑_ξ>x S(ξ) follows the law

$$T\left(x\right)=\frac{C}{\alpha }\left(n^{-\alpha }-x^{-\alpha }\right),x=1,\dots ,n$$

(7)

where α = λ₀/λ₁.

The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. These corrections were approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
