A New Likelihood-based Test for Natural Selection

2021-07-04

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> We present a new statistic for testing for neutral evolution from allele frequency data summarised as a site frequency spectrum, which we call the relative likelihood neutrality test or ρ . Classical methods of testing for natural selection, such as Tajima’s D and its relatives, require the null model to have constant population size over time and therefore can confound demographic change with...
