A Markov chain Monte Carlo strategy for sampling from the joint posterior distribution of pedigrees and population parameters under a Fisher-Wright model with partial selfing.

Abstract excerpt

A simple population genetic model is presented for a hermaphrodite annual species, allowing both selfing and outcrossing. Those male gametes (pollen) responsible for outcrossing are assumed to disperse much further than seeds. Under this model, the pedigree of a sample from a single locality is loop-free. A novel Markov chain Monte Carlo strategy is presented for sampling from the joint posterior distribution of...
