apTreeshape: statistical analysis of phylogenetic tree shape
apTreeshape is a R package dedicated to simulation and analysis of phylogenetic tree topologies using statistical imbalance measures. It is a companion library of the R package 'ape', which provides additional functions for reading, plotting, manipulating phylogenetic trees and for connecting to public phylogenetic tree databases. One strength of the package is to include appropriate correction...
متن کاملStatistical Phylogenetic Tree Analysis Using Differences of Means
We propose a statistical method to test whether two phylogenetic trees with given alignments are significantly incongruent. Our method compares the two distributions of phylogenetic trees given by two input alignments, instead of comparing point estimations of trees. This statistical approach can be applied to gene tree analysis for example, detecting unusual events in genome evolution such as ...
متن کاملTowards a theory of statistical tree-shape analysis
In order to develop statistical methods for shapes with a tree-structure, we construct a shape space framework for treeshapes and study metrics on the shape space. This shape space has singularities, which correspond to topological transitions in the represented trees. We study two closely related metrics on the shape space, TED and QED. QED is a quotient Euclidean distance arising naturally fr...
متن کاملTree models for macroevolution and phylogenetic analysis.
It has long been recognized that phylogenetic trees are more unbalanced than those generated by a Yule process. Recently, the degree of this imbalance has been quantified using the large set of phylogenetic trees available in the TreeBASE data set. In this article, a more precise analysis of imbalance is undertaken. Trees simulated under a range of models are compared with trees from TreeBASE a...
متن کاملStatistical shape analysis of anatomical structures
In this thesis, we develop a computational framework for image-based statistical analysis of anatomical shape in different populations. Applications of such analysis include understanding developmental and anatomical aspects of disorders when comparing patients vs. normal controls, studying morphological changes caused by aging, or even differences in normal anatomy, for example, differences be...
