Abstract
Summary: PopHist is a computer program that uses the frequency spectrum of alleles to: (a) estimate maximum likelihood parameters describing a population's history; and (b) compare alternative hypotheses about population history using likelihood ratio tests. The program uses the matrix coalescent, a method for calculating theoretical frequency spectra that can be applied to sets of unlinked sites.
