Asymptotic Genealogy of a Critical Branching Process

چکیده
Consider a continuous-time binary branching process conditioned to have population size n at some time t, and with a chance p for recording each extinct individual in the process. Within the family tree of this process, we consider the smallest subtree containing the genealogy of the extant individuals together with the genealogy of the recorded extinct individuals. We introduce a novel representation of such subtrees in terms of a point-process, and provide asymptotic results on the distribution of this point-process as the number of extant individuals increases. We motivate the study within the scope of a coherent analysis for an a priori model for macroevolution.

متن کاملReduced Branching Processes with Very Heavy Tails
The reduced Markov branching process is a stochastic model for the genealogy of an unstructured biological population. Its limit behavior in the critical case is well studied for theZolotarev–Slack regularity parameterα ∈ (0, 1]. We turn to the case of very heavytailed reproduction distribution α = 0 assuming that Zubkov’s regularity condition holds with parameter β ∈ (0,∞). Our main result giv...

متن کاملSample genealogy and mutational patterns for critical branching populations
We study a universal object for the genealogy of a sample in populations with mutations: the critical birth-death process with Poissonian mutations, conditioned on its population size at a fixed time horizon. We show how this process arises as the law of the genealogy of a sample in a large class of critical branching populations with mutations at birth, namely populations converging, in a larg...
