Resumen:
For Lambda-n-coalescents with mutation, we analyse the minimal ob- servable Glade size O-n. For a given individual i is an element of (1, ..., n, the minimal ob- servable Glade size O-n, (i) is 1 plus the number of other individuals j such that every non-singleton mutation inherited by i is also inherited by j. We provide asymptotics of O-n as n -> infinity and a recursion for all moments of O-n for finite n. This statistic gives an upper bound for the minimal Glade size (Advances in Applied Probability 37 (2005) 647-662) which is not observable in real data (in contrast to O-n). In applications to genetics, it has been shown to be useful to lower classification errors in genealogical model selection (Freund and Siri-Jegousse, 2020).
