The effect of ambiguous data on phylogenetic estimates obtained by maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference.
Although an increasing number of phylogenetic data sets are incomplete, the effect of ambiguous data on phylogenetic accuracy is not well understood. We use 4-taxon simulations to study the effects of ambiguous data (i.e., missing characters or gaps) in maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian frameworks. By introducing ambiguous data in a way that removes confounding factors, we provide the first ...
متن کاملBayesian and Iterative Maximum Likelihood Estimation of the Coefficients in Logistic Regression Analysis with Linked Data
This paper considers logistic regression analysis with linked data. It is shown that, in logistic regression analysis with linked data, a finite mixture of Bernoulli distributions can be used for modeling the response variables. We proposed an iterative maximum likelihood estimator for the regression coefficients that takes the matching probabilities into account. Next, the Bayesian counterpart...
متن کاملMaximum Likelihood Methods for Phylogenetic Inference
In this article, we provide an overview of maximum likelihood methods for phylogenetic inference. A brief introduction to general maximum likelihood estimation is provided. We define a phylogenetic likelihood, summarize how to compute this likelihood, and then discuss approaches used to maximize the phylogenetic likelihood function. We discuss a property of the maximum likelihood estimation, ca...

15 صفحه اولMaximum-Likelihood Phylogenetic Inference with Selection on Protein Folding Stability.
Despite intense work, incorporating constraints on protein native structures into the mathematical models of molecular evolution remains difficult, because most models and programs assume that protein sites evolve independently, whereas protein stability is maintained by interactions between sites. Here, we address this problem by developing a new mean-field substitution model that generates in...
