Balding–Nichols model

The Balding–Nichols model is a statistical model used in the field of population genetics to describe the distribution of allele frequencies in a population. Specifically, it focuses on the genetic variation that arises from a combination of mutation, selection, and genetic drift over time, particularly in the context of a neutral model where selection is not acting on the alleles. The model is often used to understand the genetic structure of populations and how genetic diversity can be maintained or lost due to various evolutionary processes.
