Comparing likelihood and Bayesian coalescent estimation of population parameters.

Genetics - 1 Jan 2007

Kuhner Mary K, Smith Lucian P

Abstract excerpt

We have developed a Bayesian version of our likelihood-based Markov chain Monte Carlo genealogy sampler LAMARC and compared the two versions for estimation of theta = 4N(e)mu, exponential growth rate, and recombination rate. We used simulated DNA data to assess accuracy of means and support or credibility intervals. In all cases the two methods had very similar results. Some parameter combinations led to overly...
