Bayesian Estimation of Population Size Changes by Sampling Tajima’s Trees

2019-04-11

Abstract excerpt

The large state space of gene genealogies is a major hurdle for inference methods based on Kingman’s coalescent. Here, we present a new Bayesian approach for inferring past population sizes which relies on a lower resolution coalescent process we refer to as “Tajima’s coalescent”. Tajima’s coalescent has a drastically smaller state space, and hence it is a computationally more efficient model, than the standard Ki...
