Estimation of effective population size of HIV-1 within a host: a pseudomaximum-likelihood approach.

Abstract excerpt

Using pseudomaximum-likelihood approaches to phylogenetic inference and coalescent theory, we develop a computationally tractable method of estimating effective population size from serially sampled viral data. We show that the variance of the maximum-likelihood estimator of effective population size depends on the serial sampling design only because internal node times on a coalescent genealogy can be better...
