Looking down in the ancestral selection graph: A probabilistic approach to the common ancestor type distribution.

Abstract excerpt

In a (two-type) Wright-Fisher diffusion with directional selection and two-way mutation, let x denote today's frequency of the beneficial type, and given x, let h(x) be the probability that, among all individuals of today's population, the individual whose progeny will eventually take over in the population is of the beneficial type. Fearnhead (2002) and Taylor (2007) obtained a series representation for h(x). We...
