A Faster and More Accurate Algorithm for Calculating Population Genetics Statistics Requiring Sums of Stirling Numbers of the First Kind

A Faster and More Accurate Algorithm for Calculating Population Genetics Statistics Requiring Sums of Stirling Numbers of the First Kind

Ewen’s sampling formula is a foundational theoretical result that connects probability and number theory with molecular genetics and molecular evolution; it was the analytical result required for testing the neutral theory of evolution, and has since been directly or indirectly utilized in a number...
