Joint Inference of Microsatellite Mutation Models, Population History and Genealogies Using Transdimensional Markov Chain Monte Carlo
We provide a framework for Bayesian coalescent inference from microsatellite data that enables inference of population history parameters averaged over microsatellite mutation models. To achieve this we first implemented a rich family of microsatellite mutation models and related components in the software package BEAST. BEAST is a powerful tool that performs Bayesian MCMC analysis on molecular...
متن کاملMarkov Chain Monte Carlo
Markov chain Monte Carlo is an umbrella term for algorithms that use Markov chains to sample from a given probability distribution. This paper is a brief examination of Markov chain Monte Carlo and its usage. We begin by discussing Markov chains and the ergodicity, convergence, and reversibility thereof before proceeding to a short overview of Markov chain Monte Carlo and the use of mixing time...
متن کاملMarkov Chain Monte Carlo
This paper gives a brief introduction to Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods, which offer a general framework for calculating difficult integrals. We start with the basic theory of Markov chains and build up to a theorem that characterizes convergent chains. We then discuss the MetropolisHastings algorithm.
متن کاملMarkov chain Monte Carlo
One of the simplest and most powerful practical uses of the ergodic theory of Markov chains is in Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). Suppose we wish to simulate from a probability density π (which will be called the target density) but that direct simulation is either impossible or practically infeasible (possibly due to the high dimensionality of π). This generic problem occurs in diverse scient...
