The Joint Spectrum over Trees under the Kingman coalescent with varying population.

Abstract excerpt

The Kingman coalescent process models the genealogy of a sample taken from a large population of individuals who reproduce and die according to models such as the Moran or Wright-Fisher processes. The occurrence and spread of neutral mutations in the sample can be modelled by a Poisson process over sample phylogenies from the Kingman coalescent. We study the joint probability distribution of frequencies for...
