A Fleming–viot Process and Bayesian Nonparametrics
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper provides a construction of a Fleming–Viot measure valued diffusion process, for which the transition function is known, by extending recent ideas of the Gibbs sampler based Markov processes. In particular, we concentrate on the Chapman–Kolmogorov consistency conditions which allows a simple derivation of such a Fleming–Viot process, once a key and apparently new combinatorial result for Pólya-urn sequences has been established.

The Reversibility of Interacting Fleming-Viot Processes
Fleming-Viot process is a mathematical model in population genetics. It is a probabilitymeasure-valued process describing the relative frequencies of allelic types in a large population undergoing mutation, selection and genetic drift. The interacting Fleming-Viot process describes the evolution of a collection of Fleming-Viot processes in which those Fleming-Viot processes interact with each o...
متن کاملJump-type Fleming-viot Processes
In 1991 Perkins [7] showed that the normalized critical binary branching process is a time inhomogeneous Fleming-Viot process. In the present paper we extend this result to jump-type branching processes and we show that the normalized jump-type branching processes are in a new class of probability measure-valued processes which will be called “jump-type Fleming-Viot processes”. Furthermore we a...
متن کاملOn criteria of disconnectedness for Λ - Fleming - Viot support ∗
The totally disconnectedness of support for superBrownian motion in high dimensions is well known. In this paper, we prove that similar results also hold for ΛFleming-Viot processes with Brownian spatial motion provided that the associated Λ-coalescent comes down from infinity fast enough. Our proof is another application of the lookdown particle representation for Λ-Fleming-Viot process. We al...
متن کاملA modified lookdown construction for the Xi-Fleming-Viot process with mutation and populations with recurrent bottlenecks
Let Λ be a finite measure on the unit interval. A Λ-Fleming-Viot process is a probability measure valued Markov process which is dual to a coalescent with multiple collisions (Λ-coalescent) in analogy to the duality known for the classical Fleming-Viot process and Kingman’s coalescent, where Λ is the Dirac measure in 0. We explicitly construct a dual process of the coalescent with simultaneous ...
متن کاملThe Λ-Fleming-Viot process and a connection with Wright-Fisher diffusion
The d-dimensional Λ-Fleming-Viot generator acting on functions g(x), with x being a vector of d allele frequencies, can be written as a Wright-Fisher generator acting on functions g with a modified random linear argument of x induced by partitioning occurring in the Λ-Fleming-Viot process. The eigenvalues and right polynomial eigenvectors are easy to see from the representation. The two-dimensi...
