摘要
This paper describes a set of stochastic processes that is useful for modeling and analyzing a new genetic mapping method. Some of the processes are Markov chains, and some are best described as functions of Markov chains. The central issue is boundary-crossing probabilities, which correspond to p-values for the existence of genes for particular traits. The methods elaborated by Aldous (I 989) provide very accurate approximate p-values, as spot-checked against simulations.
