The Validity of the Coalescent Approximation for Large Samples

2017-08-01

Abstract excerpt

The Kingman coalescent, widely used in genetics, is known to be a good approximation when the sample size is small relative to the population size. In this article, we investigate how large the sample size can get without violating the coalescent approximation. If the haploid population size is 2 N , we prove that for samples of size N 1/3− ϵ , ϵ > 0, coalescence under the Wright-Fisher (WF) model converges in...
