Measuring the external branches of a Kingman tree: A discrete approach.

Abstract excerpt

The Kingman coalescent process is a classical model of gene genealogies in population genetics. It generates Yule-distributed, binary ranked tree topologies - also called histories - with a finite number of n leaves, together with n-1 exponentially distributed time lengths: one for each layer of the history. Using a discrete approach, we study the lengths of the external branches of Yule distributed histories,...
