gn2 function

Joint Distribution for K Matched Sequences (2)

This function calculates the joint distribution array for K matched sequences (second option).

gn2(theta, merge2)

Arguments

• theta: a vector of variables containing the following parameters in this order--1. the first three parameters from $\pi_X$ vector, 2. the first three parameters from $\pi_Y$ vector, 3. the first three parameters from $f_0$ vector, 4. the six off-diagonal free parameters in the S matrix, 5. a scalar $\rho$, 6. a vector of lengths containing K-2 values
• merge2: (K-1) x 2 matrix describing the tree topology

Details

This function calculates the joint distribution array for a tree with K matched sequences. it uses the following functions-- Pt, Fmatrix and Smatrix.

Returns

A $4^K$ array containing the joint distribution for the K edges
