Extract

The classical models for genetic drift of Wright (1931) and Moran (1958) have been generalized by Karlin and McGregor (1965), and Chia and Watterson (1969), this last treatment including the other three. The basic technique for the generalized models was to consider the change of certain expectations of the underlying random variables, the generalization being in terms of the conditional branching process.
