Estimation of parameters in large offspring number models and ratios of coalescence times.

Theoretical population biology - 1 Aug 2011

Eldon Bjarki

Abstract excerpt

The ratio of singletons to the total number of segregating sites is used to estimate a reproduction parameter in a population model of large offspring numbers without having to jointly estimate the mutation rate. For neutral genetic variation, the ratio of singletons to the total number of segregating sites is equivalent to the ratio of total length of external branches to the total length of the gene genealogy....
