Weak limits for the largest subpopulations in Yule processes with high mutation probabilities


Baur, Erich; Bertoin, Jean (2017). Weak limits for the largest subpopulations in Yule processes with high mutation probabilities. Advances in Applied Probability, 49(3):877-902.

Abstract

We consider a Yule process until the total population reaches size n ≫ 1, and assume that neutral mutations occur with high probability 1 - p (in the sense that each child is a new mutant with probability 1 - p, independently of the other children), where p = p$_{n}$ ≪ 1. We establish a general strategy for obtaining Poisson limit laws and a weak law of large numbers for the number of subpopulations exceeding a given size and apply this to some mutation regimes of particular interest. Finally, we give an application to subcritical Bernoulli bond percolation on random recursive trees with percolation parameter p$_{n}$ tending to 0.
