Allelic Entropy and Times until Loss or Fixation of Neutral Polymorphisms

In the diffusion approximation of the neutral Wright–Fisher model, the expected time until fixation or loss of a neutral allele is proportional to the initial entropy of the distribution of the allele in the population. No explanation is known for this coincidence. In this paper, we show that the ra...
