摘要

We apply a Lindeberg principle under the Markov process setting to approximate the Wright-Fisher model with neutral r-alleles using a diffusion process, deriving an error rate based on a function class distance involving fourth-order bounded differentiable functions. This error rate consists of a linear combination of the maximum mutation rate and the reciprocal of the population size. Our result improves the error bound in the seminal work (Ethier and Norman Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 74(11), 5096–5098 1977), where only the special case \(r=2\) r = 2 was studied.
