Diffusion Limits at Small Times for Coalescent Processes with Mutation and Selection
Philip A. Hanson, Paul A. Jenkins, Jere Koskela +1
The Ancestral Selection Graph (ASG) is an important genealogical process which extends the well-known Kingman coalescent to incorporate natural selection. We show that the number o…
Simple conditions for convergence of sequential Monte Carlo genealogies with applications
Suzie Brown, Paul A. Jenkins, Adam M. Johansen +1
We present simple conditions under which the limiting genealogical process associated with a class of interacting particle systems with non-neutral selection mechanisms, as the num…
Statistical tools for seed bank detection
Jochen Blath, Eugenio Buzzoni, Jere Koskela +1
In this article, we derive statistical tools to analyze and distinguish the patterns of genetic variability produced by classical and recent population genetic models related to se…
Robust model selection between population growth and multiple merger coalescents
Jere Koskela, Maite Wilke Berenguer
We study the effect of biological confounders on the model selection problem between Kingman coalescents with population growth, and Xi-coalescents involving simultaneous multiple…
