Inference from the stationary distribution of allele frequencies in a family of Wright-Fisher models with two levels of genetic variability.

Abstract excerpt

The distribution of allele frequencies obtained from diffusion approximations to Wright-Fisher models is useful in developing intuition about the population level effects of evolutionary processes. The statistical properties of the stationary distributions of K-allele models have been extensively studied under neutrality or under selection. Here, we introduce a new family of Wright-Fisher models in which there...
