Importance sampling on the coalescent with recombination
Performing inference on contemporary samples of homologous DNA sequence data is an important task. By assuming a stochastic model for ancestry, one can make full use of observed data by sampling from the distribution of genealogies conditional upon the sample configuration. A natural such model is Kingman’s coalescent, with numerous extensions to account for additional biological phenomena. How...
متن کاملSequential Importance Sampling for Multiway Tables
We describe an algorithm for the sequential sampling of entries in multiway contingency tables with given constraints. The algorithm can be used for computations in exact conditional inference. To justify the algorithm, a theory relates sampling values at each step to properties of the associated toric ideal using computational commutative algebra. In particular, the property of interval cell c...
متن کاملSequential Importance Sampling for Visual Tracking Reconsidered
We consider the task of filtering dynamical systems observed in noise by means of sequential importance sampling when the proposal is restricted to the innovation components of the state. It is argued that the unmodified sequential importance sampling/resampling (SIR) algorithm may yield high variance estimates of the posterior in this case, resulting in poor performance when e.g. in visual tra...
متن کاملCoalescent: an open-science framework for importance sampling in coalescent theory
Background. In coalescent theory, computer programs often use importance sampling to calculate likelihoods and other statistical quantities. An importance sampling scheme can exploit human intuition to improve statistical efficiency of computations, but unfortunately, in the absence of general computer frameworks on importance sampling, researchers often struggle to translate new sampling schem...
متن کاملCounting Coalescent Histories
Given a species tree and a gene tree, a valid coalescent history is a list of the branches of the species tree on which coalescences in the gene tree take place. I develop a recursion for the number of valid coalescent histories that exist for an arbitrary gene tree/species tree pair, when one gene lineage is studied per species. The result is obtained by defining a concept of m-extended coales...
