Karlin-McGregor mutational occupancy problem revisited

Populations and Evolution 2018-05-23 v1 Statistical Mechanics Probability

Abstract

Some population is made of n individuals that can be of p possible species (or types). The update of the species abundance occupancies is from a Moran mutational model designed by Karlin and McGregor in 1967. We first study the equilibrium species counts as a function of n, p and the total mutation probability ν\nu before considering various asymptotic regimes on n, p and ν\nu. Running title: KMG Model with Mutations.
