4.2 The Forward and Backward Kolmogorov Equations We consider a discrete Markov chain with state space { 0 , 1 , 2 , ... , M } , transition matrix P = { Pij } and initial value k for the random variable whose properties are described by ...
This accessible primer has been completely revised and updated to provide a concise but comprehensive introduction to the basic concepts of population genetics and genomics.
This recent field of science has important applications for the management of populations (natural and domesticated), as well as for evolutionary studies of the various factors that affect gene frequencies over time and spatial distribution ...
