Set up a Markov chain on state space on all supported values of and G and with stationary distribution p(, G | X). Now since

this can easily be done using Metropolis-Hastings sampling, i.e. updates to and G are proposed from a proposal distribution q( , G → ’ , G’) and accepted with probability

Some problems…

• Histogram estimator or other smoothing must be used.

• Likelihood ratios hard to estimate (e.g. M=0).

A new method

• It is possible to calculate the marginal prior probability of a genealogy

• It turns out that this math is doable, for most components of Θ such as and M.• The we can sample from the marginal posterior of G

using the previously discussed MCMC procedures.

Advantages

• Eliminates problems with covariance between parameters leading to mixing problems.

• Provides a smooth posterior/likelihood function useful for optimization and likelihood ratio estimation.

Disadvantages

• Requires more calculation in each MCMC iteration

Likelihood ratio estimation

6 loci, 15 gene copies, H0: m1=m2

Other approaches

• Kuhner and Felsenstein use a combination of MCMC and importance sampling to estimate surfaces (no prior for the parameters).

• PAC methods suggested by Stephens and Donnelly samples from a close approximation to

to estimate an approximate likelihood.• ABC (Beaumont, Pritchard, Tavare and others) methods are

a very popular and promising class of methods based on (1) reducing the data to summary statistics, (2) simulate new data from the prior, (3) accepting the parameter value under which the data was simulated if the difference between simulated and true statistics is less than .

SNPs within a gene are correlated. But estimator is SNPs within a gene are correlated. But estimator is consistent. The estimate has the same properties as consistent. The estimate has the same properties as a real likelihood estimator except that it converges a real likelihood estimator except that it converges slightly slower because of the correlation (Wiuf 2006).slightly slower because of the correlation (Wiuf 2006).
