Group mutation trajectories by position and effect size

Max mutation frequencies

mfreq = traj.groupby(['pos','esize']).max().reset_index()
#Print out info for all mutations that hit a frequency of 1 (e.g., fixed)
mfreq[mfreq['freq']==1]
pos esize freq generation origin
2701 1.134096 0.001812 1.0 2612 43

The only fixation has an ‘esize’ $> 0$, which means that it was positively selected,
