Measuring the degree of starshape in genealogies--summary statistics and demographic inference.

Genetics research - 1 Aug 2009

Lohse Konrad, Kelleher Jerome

Abstract excerpt

The degree of starshape of a genealogy is readily detectable using summary statistics and can be taken as a surrogate for the effect of past demography and other non-neutral forces. Summary statistics such as Tajima's D and related measures are commonly used for this. However, it is well known th...
