Description
Approximate mean time to fixation for a neutral allele in a well-mixed (panmictic)
population of N individuals with original allele frequency p.
More formally, this is the approximate mean number of generations that a selectively neutral allele initially at a frequency p
will remain segregating in a randomly mating monoecious diploid
population of size N with no spatial structure. Note that there is no distinction
between males/females and no spatial structure.
This a well-known result in classical population-genetic theory. See
Ewens, W.J., 1979. Mathematical Population Genetics. Springer-Verlag, Berlin.
