The Distribution of Fst for the IslandModel in the Large Population, WeakMutation Limit

چکیده

Populations are often divided into subpopulations. Biologists use the statistic Fst to perform hypothesis tests for the existence of population subdivision and to estimate migration rates between different subpopulations. The distribution of Fst is not known. In this article, we use coalescent theory methods to find the limiting distribution of Fst in the large population, weak mutation limit under the island model of migration. Our analysis uses the scattering-collection decomposition of the island model coalescent introduced by Wakeley.

Frequencies of HLA-A, B and DRB1 alleles in a large normal population living in the city of Mashhad, Northeastern Iran

Objective(s): The population in Iran is a genetic admixture of the ancestral Aryan and other populations neighboring Iran. Different ethnic groups in Iran show wide regional distributions for many human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles. Therefore, it is necessary and sensible to study the differences in HLA allele distribution in different area. We studied the HLA class I and II allele frequenci...

Strong Convergence Rates of the Product-limit Estimator for Left Truncated and Right Censored Data under Association

Non-parametric estimation of a survival function from left truncated data subject to right censoring has been extensively studied in the literature. It is commonly assumed in such studies that the lifetime variables are a sample of independent and identically distributed random variables from the target population. This assumption is often prone to failure in practical studies. For instance, wh...
