Exact reconciliation of undated trees
Reconciliation methods aim at recovering macro evolutionary events and at localizing them in the species history, by observing discrepancies between gene family trees and species trees. In this article we introduce an Integer Linear Programming (ILP) approach for the NP-hard problem of computing a most parsimonious time-consistent reconciliation of a gene tree with a species tree when dating in...
متن کاملCophylogenetic analysis of dated trees
Parasites and the associations they form with their hosts is an important area of research due to the associated health risks which parasites pose to the human population. The associations parasites form with their hosts are responsible for a number of the worst emerging diseases impacting global health today, including Ebola, HIV, and malaria. Macro-scale coevolutionary research aims to analys...
متن کاملDated ancestral trees from binary trait data and its ap- plication to the diversification of languages
Binary trait data record the presence or absence of distinguishing traits in individuals. We treat the problem of estimating ancestral trees with time depth from binary trait data. Simple analysis of such data is problematic. Each homology class of traits has a unique birth event on the tree, and the birth event of a trait visible at the leaves is biased towards the leaves. We propose a model-b...
متن کاملSequentially Fitting "Inclusive" Trees for Inference in Noisy-OR Networks
An important class of problems can be cast as inference in noisyOR Bayesian networks, where the binary state of each variable is a logical OR of noisy versions of the states of the variable's parents. For example, in medical diagnosis, the presence of a symptom can be expressed as a noisy-OR of the diseases that may cause the symptom on some occasions, a disease may fail to activate the symptom...
متن کاملOn Fitting Mixture Models
Consider the problem of tting a nite Gaussian mixture, with an unknown number of components, to observed data. This paper proposes a new minimum description length (MDL) type criterion, termed MMDL (formixtureMDL), to select the number of components of the model. MMDL is based on the identi cation of an \equivalent sample size", for each component, which does not coincide with the full sample s...
