Optimal point process filtering and estimation of the coalescent process.
The coalescent process is a widely used approach for inferring the demographic history of a population, from samples of its genetic diversity. Several parametric and non-parametric coalescent inference methods, involving Markov chain Monte Carlo, Gaussian processes, and other algorithms, already exist. However, these techniques are not always easy to adapt and apply, thus creating a need for al...
متن کاملOptimal Point Process Filtering of the Coalescent Process
This manuscript explores the viability of using optimal point process (Snyder) filters in order to estimate the underlying parameters of the variable population size coalescent process. Estimating these population parameters is an important area of research in phylodynamics, especially given the widespread use of the coalescent in modelling the relationship between the genetic diversity and epi...
متن کاملAn Analytically Tractable Bayesian Approximation to Optimal Point Process Filtering
The process of dynamic state estimation (filtering) based on point process observations is in general intractable. Numerical sampling techniques are often practically useful, but lead to limited conceptual insight about optimal encoding/decoding strategies, which are of significant relevance to Computational Neuroscience. We develop an analytically tractable Bayesian approximation to optimal fi...
متن کاملThe Coalescent Point Process of Branching Trees By
We define a doubly infinite, monotone labeling of Bienaymé–Galton– Watson (BGW) genealogies. The genealogy of the current generation backwards in time is uniquely determined by the coalescent point process (Ai ; i ≥ 1), where Ai is the coalescence time between individuals i and i + 1. There is a Markov process of point measures (Bi; i ≥ 1) keeping track of more ancestral relationships, such tha...
متن کاملThe coalescent point process of multi-type branching trees
We define a multi-type coalescent point process of a general branching process with countably many types. This multi-type coalescent fully describes the genealogy of the (quasi-stationary) standing population providing types along ancestral lineages of all individuals in the standing population. We show that the coalescent process is a functional of a certain Markov chain defined by the planar ...
