On joint subtree distributions under two evolutionary models.
In population and evolutionary biology, hypotheses about micro-evolutionary and macro-evolutionary processes are commonly tested by comparing the shape indices of empirical evolutionary trees with those predicted by neutral models. A key ingredient in this approach is the ability to compute and quantify distributions of various tree shape indices under random models of interest. As a step to me...
متن کاملJoint Distributions and Quantum Nonlocal Models
A standard result in quantum mechanics is this: if two observables are commuting then they have a classical joint distribution in every state. A converse is demonstrated here: If a classical joint distribution for the pair agrees with standard quantum facts, then the observables must commute. This has consequences for some historical and recent quantum nonlocal models: they are analytically dis...
متن کاملSubtree Transfer Operations and their Induced Metrics on Evolutionary Trees
Leaf-labelled trees are widely used to describe evolutionary relationships, particularly in biology. In this setting, extant species label the leaves of the tree, while the internal vertices correspond to ancestral species. Various techniques exist for reconstructing these evolutionary trees from data, and an important problem is to determine how “far apart” two such reconstructed trees are fro...
متن کاملDistributions on bicoloured evolutionary trees
A central and challenging problem in contemporary biology is how to accurately reconstruct evolutionary trees from DNA sequence data. This thesis addresses three themes from this endeavour -comparison, consistency and confidence intervals -by analysing distributions arising from phylogenetic trees. Toward the first theme, the distribution of the symmetric difference metric on pairs of binary an...
متن کاملThe joint distribution of Studentized residuals under elliptical distributions
Scaled and Studentized statistics are encountered frequently, and they often play a decisive role in statistical inference and testing. For instance, taking the sample mean vector X̄ = ∑N j=1 Xj/N and the sample covariance matrix S = ∑N j=1(Xj − X̄)(Xj − X̄)/(N − 1) for an iid sample {Xj}j=1, some statistics for testing normality of the underlying distribution consist of the scaled residuals (the ...
