Optimal control and the dynamics of ancestral lineages.

Abstract excerpt

In resource-constrained populations, the growth rate of an allele is coupled to the frequency of its competitors. As these frequencies are unobserved, exact inference of evolutionary parameters demands integrating over the full ensemble of possible frequency histories. This high-dimensional path integral is computationally prohibitive, and standard phylogenetic approaches avoid its evaluation by treating lineages...
