The coalescent of a sample from a linear-fractional branching process
In this article, we focus on Bienaymé-Galton-Watson processes with linear-fractional offspring distributions. At a fixed generation, we consider a sample of the individuals alive, drawn in two different ways: either through Bernoulli sampling, where each individual is selected independently with a given probability, or through uniform sampling, where a fixed number of individuals are chosen uniformly at random. We analyze the genealogical trees generated by the sampled individuals. In particular, we establish a relationship between the distributions of the trees resulting from the two sampling schemes.
