Understanding Admixture Fractions
Estimation of admixture fractions has become one of the most commonly used computational tools in population genomics. However, there is remarkably little population genetic theory on their statistical properties. We develop theoretical results that can accurately predict means and variances of admixture proportions within a population using models with recombination and genetic drift. Based on...
متن کاملA General Mechanistic Model for Admixture Histories of Hybrid Populations
Admixed populations have been used for inferring migrations, detecting natural selection, and finding disease genes. These applications often use a simple statistical model of admixture rather than a modeling perspective that incorporates a more realistic history of the admixture process. Here, we develop a general model of admixture that mechanistically accounts for complex historical admixtur...
متن کاملScalable Inference in Dynamic Admixture Models
Dynamic probabilistic models are standard in various time-series applications, including weather forecasting, stock market analysis, and robotics. Typically such models consist of a diffusion model that governs the state of the system and a model of measuring this state. As an example consider the simple non-mixture time series model µ t = µ t−1 + v t , v t ∼ N (0, ν 2) x t = µ t + w t , w t ∼ ...
متن کاملA relaxed-admixture model of language contact
Under conditions of language contact, a language may gain features from its neighbors that it is unlikely to have gotten endogenously. We describe a method for evaluating pairs of languages for potential contact by comparing a null hypothesis in which a target language obtained all its features by inheritance, with an alternative hypothesis in which the target language obtained its features via...
متن کاملThe Admixture Model in Linkage Analysis
The core of the admixture model, proposed by Smith (1953) to deal with heterogeneous traits in genetic linkage analysis, is the hypothesis that a fraction λ of pedigrees is linked to the marker locus being tested while a fraction 1 − λ is unlinked. This model leads naturally to the vexing problem of testing for a mixture and has given rise to a large literature. See, for example, Chernoff and L...
