Large-sample analysis of cost functionals for inference under the coalescent

M Favero, J Koskela - arXiv preprint arXiv:2412.06004, 2024 - arxiv.org
The coalescent is a foundational model of latent genealogical trees under neutral evolution,
but suffers from intractable sampling probabilities. Methods for approximating these …

Asymptotic behaviour of sampling and transition probabilities in coalescent models under selection and parent dependent mutations

M Favero, H Hult - Electronic Communications in Probability, 2022 - projecteuclid.org
The results in this paper provide new information on asymptotic properties of classical
models: the neutral Kingman coalescent under a general finite-alleles, parent-dependent …
