Discrete Stochastic Processes in Population Genetics
群体遗传学中的离散随机过程
SUMMARY The application to population genetic models of the approximate treatment of a non-linear discrete stochastic process by linearizing near an equilibrium point is discussed. The value of the dominant characteristic root for approximate linear changes near an initial equilibrium can be used to estimate the chances of survival of newly occurring genotypes. These methods are illustrated on the classic population genetic model for a balanced polymorphism and also on a…
