Multivariate phase-type theory for the site frequency spectrum.

Abstract excerpt

Linear functions of the site frequency spectrum (SFS) play a major role for understanding and investigating genetic diversity. Estimators of the mutation rate (e.g. based on the total number of segregating sites or average of the pairwise differences) and tests for neutrality (e.g. Tajima's D) are perhaps the most well-known examples. The distribution of linear functions of the SFS is important for constructing...
