Null versus neutral models: what’s the difference?
The neutral model posits that random variation in extinction and speciation events, coupled with limited dispersal, can account for many community properties, including the relative abundance distribution. There are important analogies between this model in ecology and a three-tiered hierarchy of models in evolution (Hardy Weinburg, drift, drift and selection). Because it invokes random process...
متن کاملNo coexistence for free: neutral null models for multistrain pathogens.
In most pathogens, multiple strains are maintained within host populations. Quantifying the mechanisms underlying strain coexistence would aid public health planning and improve understanding of disease dynamics. We argue that mathematical models of strain coexistence, when applied to indistinguishable strains, should meet criteria for both ecological neutrality and population genetic neutralit...
متن کاملTotally null surfaces in neutral Kähler 4-manifolds
We study the totally null surfaces of the neutral Kähler metric on certain 4-manifolds. The tangent spaces of totally null surfaces are either self-dual (α-planes) or anti-self-dual (β-planes) and so we consider α-surfaces and β-surfaces. The metric of the examples we study, which include the spaces of oriented geodesics of 3-manifolds of constant curvature, are anti-self-dual, and so it is wel...
متن کاملNeutral Evolution: a Null Model for Language Dynamics
We review the task of aligning simple models for language dynamics with relevant empirical data, motivated by the fact that this is rarely attempted in practice despite an abundance of abstract models. We propose that one way to meet this challenge is through the careful construction of null models. We argue in particular that rejection of a null model must have important consequences for theor...
متن کاملemLam - a Hungarian Language Modeling baseline
This paper aims to make up for the lack of documented baselines for Hungarian language modeling. Various approaches are evaluated on three publicly available Hungarian corpora. Perplexity values comparable to models of similar-sized English corpora are reported. A new, freely downloadable Hungarian benchmark corpus is introduced.
