利用汇总统计量测试多物种聚结模拟器

Testing Multispecies Coalescent Simulators using Summary Statistics

Elizabeth S. Allman, Hector Baños, John A. Rhodes

摘要:

由于基因组规模的数据集激发了物种树推理的研究,多物种合并(MSC)过程的模拟器对于测试和评估新的推理方法至关重要。然而,模拟器本身必须进行测试,以确保它们提供来自聚结过程的有效样品。在这项工作中,我们开发了几个统计工具,使用汇总统计来评估模拟基因树样本的MSC模型的拟合。使用这些测试的样本从四个已公布的模拟器,我们发现在几个缺陷。这些测试是作为R包实现的,因此开发人员和用户都能够轻松检查未来模拟器的性能。

英文摘要:

As genomic scale datasets motivate research on species tree inference, simulators of the multispecies coalescent (MSC) process are essential for the testing and evaluation of new inference methods. However, the simulators themselves must be tested to ensure they give valid samples from the coalescent process. In this work we develop several statistical tools using summary statistics to evaluate the fit of a simulated gene tree sample to the MSC model. Using these tests on samples from four published simulators, we uncover flaws in several. The tests are implemented as an R package, so that both developers and users will be able to easily check proper performance of future simulators.
