Neural Networks for self-adjusting Mutation Rate Estimation when the Recombination Rate is unknown
2021-09-03
Abstract excerpt
Estimating the mutation rate, or equivalently effective population size, is a common task in population genetics. If recombination is low or high, optimal linear estimation methods are known and well understood. For intermediate recombination rates, the calculation of optimal estimators is more challenging. As an alternative to model-based estimation, neural networks and other machine learning tools could help to...
