Tournament Ratchet and Metastability in Moran Model
Analysis
Key Takeaways
- •Analyzes the clicktime process in a tournament selection variant of Muller's ratchet.
- •Proves convergence of the rescaled clicktime process to a Poisson process.
- •Provides a detailed analysis of the metastable behavior of a two-type Moran model.
- •Offers insights into the population dynamics and conditions for slow clicking.
“The paper proves that the rescaled process of click times of the tournament ratchet converges as N→∞ to a Poisson process.”
