Statistical tests of gamma-distributed rate heterogeneity in models of sequence evolution in phylogenetics.
Likelihood ratio tests (LRTs) for comparing models of sequence evolution have become popular over the last few years (Goldman 1993; Yang, Goldman and Friday 1994, 1995; Huelsenbeck and Crandall 1997; Huelsenbeck and Rannala 1997). In their simplest form, such tests compare a simpler null hypothesis (H0) with a more complex alternative hypotheses (H1) which is a generalization of H0. H0 can be d...
متن کاملA consistency lemma in statistical phylogenetics
This short note provides a simple formal proof of a folklore result in statistical phylogenetics concerning the convergence of bootstrap support for a tree and its edges. 1. Definitions and preliminaries In this note T will refer to any rooted or unrooted phylogenetic tree, and T −ρ will refer to the unrooted tree obtained from T by suppressing the root vertex ρ if it has one (i.e. if T is unro...
متن کاملGeneralizing Apprenticeship Learning across Hypothesis Classes
This paper develops a generalized apprenticeship learning protocol for reinforcementlearning agents with access to a teacher who provides policy traces (transition and reward observations). We characterize sufficient conditions of the underlying models for efficient apprenticeship learning and link this criteria to two established learnability classes (KWIK and Mistake Bound). We then construct...
متن کاملBayesian modelling of compositional heterogeneity in molecular phylogenetics.
In molecular phylogenetics, standard models of sequence evolution generally assume that sequence composition remains constant over evolutionary time. However, this assumption is violated in many datasets which show substantial heterogeneity in sequence composition across taxa. We propose a model which allows compositional heterogeneity across branches, and formulate the model in a Bayesian fram...
متن کاملThe troubled growth of statistical phylogenetics.
Statistical inference of phylogenies almost didn’t happen. The story of the origin, growth, and spread of “statistical phylogenetics” needs to be told, because it is so strange. It is not the straightforward story of gradual spread that one might imagine. It starts with the development of numerical methods in systematics, whose modern proponents were Sokal and Sneath. Their work, embodied in th...
