Models for the logarithmic species abundance distributions

摘要: Abstract Three models, developed by Karlin, McGregor and Ewens to describe evolving populations of selectively neutral genotypes, are shown lead various versions Fisher's logarithmic series distribution for species abundance. Statistical inference procedures measures diversity which have been in one the two contexts therefore also applicable other context, paper reviews extends these links. Some work Fisher, Good Rao is be based on a faulty version distribution, which, nevertheless, good approximation consistent version.
