Inprobability theory, aFleming–Viot process (F–V process) is a member of a particular subset ofprobability measure-valuedMarkov processes oncompactmetric spaces, as defined in the 1979 paper byWendell Helms Fleming and Michel Viot. Such processes aremartingales anddiffusions.
The Fleming–Viot processes have proved to be important to the development of a mathematical basis for the theories behindallele drift.They are generalisations of the Wright–Fisher process and arise as infinite population limits of suitably rescaled variants ofMoran processes.
