DESCRIPTION:Kingman's coalescent can be obtained as the continuous/infinit
 e limit of the following process: at each time t there is a population of 
 N individuals\; each individual picks a parent at random from the previous
  generation of individuals\, located in time t+1/N.\n\nThe paper for journ
 al club will be the NIPS submission by YWT:\n"Bayesian agglomerative clust
 ering".\n\nOther relevant papers for this journal club (optional reading)
