title: 'discent: Estimation of Deme Inbreeding Spatial Coefficients with Gradient
  Descent'
version: 0.5.0
abstract: 'In the early 1970s, Malécot described the relationship between genetic
  relatedness and physical distance, forming the framework of isolation by distance,
  or -- put simply -- pairs that are far apart are less likely to mate. Capitalizing
  on this framework by using measures of Identity by Descent, we produce a deme inbreeding
  spatial coefficient (DISC) using "vanilla" gradient descent. For the mathematical
  formulation of the of DISC, see: <TODO>. Briefly, we assume that the relatedness
  between two locations (demes) in space is given by the average pairwise IBD between
  the two locations conditional on the distance that seperates them. Further, we assume
  that geographic distance is scaled by a migration rate, which is a global parameter
  among all spatial locations.'
