Haldane's formula in Cannings models: the case of moderately strong selection

From MaRDI portal
Publication:2059535



Abstract: For a class of Cannings models we prove Haldane's formula, pi(sN)simfrac2sNho2, for the fixation probability of a single beneficial mutant in the limit of large population size N and in the regime of moderately strong selection, i.e. for sNsimN−b and 0<b<1/2. Here, sN is the selective advantage of an individual carrying the beneficial type, and ho2 is the (asymptotic) offspring variance. Our assumptions on the reproduction mechanism allow for a coupling of the beneficial allele's frequency process with slightly supercritical Galton-Watson processes in the early phase of fixation.
