M8

Usage

M8(submodel: Double -> CTMC<Codons<a>>, n: Int, mu: Double, v: Double, posP: Double, posW: Double) → DiscreteDist<CTMC<Codons<a>>>

Arguments

A default beginning with ~ specifies a prior distribution.

submodel:

The model, as a function of dN/dS

Default: |w:GY94(omega=w)|

n:

The number of Gauss-Jacobi quadrature categories for the Beta component

Default: 10

mu:

The mean of the Beta distribution

Default: ~Uniform(0,1)

v:

The normalized Beta variance Var(omega)/(mu*(1-mu)); 0 < v < 1

Default: ~Uniform(0,1)

posP:

The fraction of positively selected sites

Default: ~Beta(1,10)

posW:

The dN/dS value for positively selected sites

Default: ~LogGamma(4,0.25)

Description

The M8 model is an M7 model with an additional category of positively-selected sites. The additional category of sites has proportion=posP and dN/dS=posW.

The Beta component uses Gauss-Jacobi quadrature with generally unequal category weights. The parameter n counts Beta categories, excluding any additional M8-family category.

The Beta-component mean mu and normalized variance v have independent Uniform(0,1) default priors.
