Moments, cumulants, and polygenic dynamics.

Journal of mathematical biology - 1 Jan 1991

Bürger R

Abstract excerpt

A new approach for describing the evolution of polygenic traits subject to selection and mutation is presented. Differential equations for the change of cumulants of the allelic frequency distribution at a particular locus and for the cumulants of the distributions of genotypic and phenotypic values are derived. The derivation is based on the assumptions of random mating, no sex differences, absence of random...
