#' @aliases exclusionPower ep
#' @param Freqs A list containing two vectors and a list, called loci, counts,
#' and freqs. The elements of loci are the loci present in the multiplex. The
#' elements are freqs a vectors of allele frequencies for the locus. The
#' elements of counts are irrelevant here.
#' @return The exclusion power for each locus.
