An Efficient Algorithm for Estimating Population History from Genetic Data

2021-01-25

Abstract excerpt

The Legofit statistical package uses genetic data to estimate parameters describing population history. Previous versions used computer simulations to estimate probabilities, an approach that limited both speed and accuracy. This article describes a new deterministic algorithm, which makes Legofit faster and more accurate. The speed of this algorithm declines as model complexity increases. With very complex models...
