Bayesian Nonparametric Inference of Population Size Changes from Sequential Genealogies
Sophisticated inferential tools coupled with the coalescent model have recently emerged for estimating past population sizes from genomic data. Recent methods that model recombination require small sample sizes, make constraining assumptions about population size changes, and do not report measures of uncertainty for estimates. Here, we develop a Gaussian process-based Bayesian nonparametric me...
متن کاملGaussian process-based Bayesian nonparametric inference of population size trajectories from gene genealogies.
Changes in population size influence genetic diversity of the population and, as a result, leave a signature of these changes in individual genomes in the population. We are interested in the inverse problem of reconstructing past population dynamics from genomic data. We start with a standard framework based on the coalescent, a stochastic process that generates genealogies connecting randomly...

1. Prior Sensitivity In all our examples, we placed a Gamma prior on the precision parameter θ with parameters α = 0.001 and β = 0.001. This precision parameter, unknown to us a priori, controls the smoothness of the GP prior. We investigate the sensitivity of our results to the Gamma prior specification using the Egyptian HCV data. In the first plot of Figure 1, we show the prior and posterior...
