Self-contained Beta-with-Spikes approximation for inference under a Wright–Fisher model

Self-contained Beta-with-Spikes approximation for inference under a Wright–Fisher model

We construct a reliable estimation method for evolutionary parameters within the Wright-Fisher model, which describes changes in allele frequencies due to selection and genetic drift, from time-series data. Such data exist for biological populations, for example via artificial evolution experiments, and for the cultural evolution of behavior, such as linguistic …
