Convergence time to the Ewens sampling formula in the infinite alleles Moran model.

Abstract excerpt

In this paper, we establish an upper bound for time to convergence to stationarity for the discrete time infinite alleles Moran model. If M is the population size and mu is the mutation rate, this bound gives a cutoff time of log(Mmu)/mu generations. The stationary distribution for this process in the case of sampling without replacement is the Ewens sampling formula. We show that the bound for the total...
