Detecting Evolutionary Change-Points with Branch-Specific Substitution Models and Shrinkage Priors
Xiang Ji, Benjamin Redelings, Shuo Su +6
Branch-specific substitution models are popular for detecting evolutionary change-points, such as shifts in selective pressure. However, applying such models typically requires pri…
Non-Linear Drivers of Population Dynamics: a Nonparametric Coalescent Approach
Filippo Monti, Nuno R. Faria, Xiang Ji +3
Effective population size (Ne(t)) is a fundamental parameter in population genetics and phylodynamics that quantifies genetic diversity and reveals demographic history. Coalescent-…
Inhomogeneous continuous-time Markov chains to infer flexible time-varying evolutionary rates
Pratyusa Datta, Philippe Lemey, Marc A. Suchard
Reconstructing evolutionary histories and estimating the rate of evolution from molecular sequence data is of central importance in evolutionary biology and infectious disease rese…
Quantum Speedups for Multiproposal MCMC
Chin-Yi Lin, Kuo-Chin Chen, Philippe Lemey +3
Multiproposal Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms choose from multiple proposals to generate their next chain step in order to sample from challenging target distributions m…
