Moments of the length of sample genealogy and their applications.

Abstract excerpt

Underlying many important statistical properties of a sample of DNA sequences is the total branch length L of the sample's genealogy. A classic example is the number K of mutations on the genealogy, whose expectation and variance are simple functions of the expectation and variance of L. However, higher moments of L and related quantities have received relatively little attention despite their potential utility....
