Exact simulation of the Wright-Fisher diffusion
The Wright-Fisher family of diffusion processes is a class of evolutionary models widely used in population genetics, with applications also in finance and Bayesian statistics. Simulation and inference from these diffusions is therefore of widespread interest. However, simulating a Wright-Fisher diffusion is difficult because there is no known closed-form formula for its transition function. In...
متن کاملRecurrence Relations for Moment Generating Functions of Generalized Order Statistics Based on Doubly Truncated Class of Distributions
In this paper, we derived recurrence relations for joint moment generating functions of nonadjacent generalized order statistics (GOS) of random samples drawn from doubly truncated class of continuous distributions. Recurrence relations for joint moments of nonadjacent GOS (ordinary order statistics (OOS) and k-upper records (k-RVs) as special cases) are obtained. Single and product moment gene...
متن کاملSome consequences of demographic stochasticity in population genetics.
Much of population genetics is based on the diffusion limit of the Wright-Fisher model, which assumes a fixed population size. This assumption is violated in most natural populations, particularly for microbes. Here we study a more realistic model that decouples birth and death events and allows for a stochastically varying population size. Under this model, classical quantities such as the pro...
متن کاملExtension of Dale ’ s Moment Conditions with Application to the Wright - Fisher Model
Dale’s necessary and sufficient conditions for an array to contain the joint moments for some probability distribution on the unit simplex in R2 are extended to the unit simplex in Rd. These conditions are then used in a computational method, based on linear programming, to evaluate the stationary distribution for the diffusion approximation of the Wright-Fisher model in population genetics. Th...
متن کاملExploring population genetic models with recombination using efficient forward-time simulations.
We present an exact forward-in-time algorithm that can efficiently simulate the evolution of a finite population under the Wright-Fisher model. We used simulations based on this algorithm to verify the accuracy of the ancestral recombination graph approximation by comparing it to the exact Wright-Fisher scenario. We find that the recombination graph is generally a very good approximation for mo...
