https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weak%20selection | Weak selection in evolutionary biology is when individuals with different phenotypes possess similar fitness, i.e. one phenotype is weakly preferred over the other. Weak selection, therefore, is an evolutionary theory to explain the maintenance of multiple phenotypes in a stable population.
Weak selection can only be... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum%20term%20method | The maximum-term method is a consequence of the large numbers encountered in statistical mechanics. It states that under appropriate conditions the logarithm of a summation is essentially equal to the logarithm of the maximum term in the summation.
These conditions are (see also proof below) that (1) the number of ter... |
