Statistical Properties of Pairwise Distances between Leaves on a Random Yule Tree

Michael Sheinman, Florian Massip, Peter F. Arndt

A Yule tree is the result of a branching process with constant birth and death rates. Such a process serves as an instructive null model of many empirical systems, for instance, th…
