Parsimony with General Character Evolution
The questions of how to test hypotheses of character evolution, and incorporate character evolution into phylogenetic analysis are considered in this thesis. When a character transformation series is not linear, it is usually decoded into a set of binary characters by various binary coding methods. The disadvantages of such an approach have been discussed extensively in the literature. We propo...
متن کاملMATICCE: mapping transitions in continuous character evolution
SUMMARY MATICCE is a new software package in the R language for mapping phylogenetic transitions in organismal traits that have continuous distributions. MATICCE integrates over phylogenetic and model uncertainty and provides simulation functions for visualizing evolutionary scenarios based on estimated parameter values. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION MATICCE is written in the open source R ...
متن کاملA new model for discrete character evolution.
The paper provides an explicit justification for the principle that a uniform taxon should contribute only one datapoint in comparative analyses with discrete variables. The justification is that phylogenetic patterns in variables unincluded in the proposed test vitiate the assumption of independence, both at the level of species and at the level of branch segments. The consequence is that a un...
متن کاملUtilizing maticce to estimate transitions in continuous character evolution
This document provides an overview of the maticce package, which serves three primary purposes. First, it implements an information-theoretic approach to estimating where on a phylogeny there has been a transition in a continuous character. As currently implemented, the approach assumes that (1) such transitions are appropriately modeled as shifts in optimum / equilibrium of a character evolvin...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
