Species dynamics in the two-parameter Poisson-Dirichlet diffusion model (1305.0179v2)

Published 1 May 2013 in math.PR, math.ST, and stat.TH

Abstract: The recently introduced two-parameter infinitely-many neutral alleles model extends the celebrated one-parameter version, related to Kingman's distribution, to diffusive two-parameter Poisson-Dirichlet frequencies. Here we investigate the dynamics driving the species heterogeneity underlying the two-parameter model. First we show that a suitable normalization of the number of species is driven by a critical continuous-state branching process with immigration. Secondly, we provide a finite-dimensional construction of the two-parameter model, obtained by means of a sequence of Feller diffusions of Wright-Fisher flavor which feature finitely-many types and inhomogeneous mutation rates. Both results provide insight into the mathematical properties and biological interpretation of the two-parameter model, showing that it is structurally different from the one-parameter case in that the frequencies dynamics are driven by state-dependent rather than constant quantities.
