On the joint distribution of tree height and tree length under the coalescent.

Theoretical population biology - 1 Jul 2018

Arbisser Ilana M, Jewett Ethan M, Rosenberg Noah A

Abstract excerpt

Many statistics that examine genetic variation depend on the underlying shapes of genealogical trees. Under the coalescent model, we investigate the joint distribution of two quantities that describe genealogical tree shape: tree height and tree length. We derive a recursive formula for their exact joint distribution under a demographic model of a constant-sized population. We obtain approximations for the mean...
