Accuracy of Demographic Inferences from the Site Frequency Spectrum: The Case of the Yoruba Population.

Genetics - 1 May 2017

Lapierre Marguerite, Lambert Amaury, Achaz Guillaume

Abstract excerpt

Some methods for demographic inference based on the observed genetic diversity of current populations rely on the use of summary statistics such as the Site Frequency Spectrum (SFS). Demographic models can be either model-constrained with numerous parameters, such as growth rates, timing of demographic events, and migration rates, or model-flexible, with an unbounded collection of piecewise constant sizes. It is...
