UPGMA and the normalized equidistant minimum evolution problem
UPGMA (Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic Mean) is a widely used clustering method. Here we show that UPGMA is a greedy heuristic for the normalized equidistant minimum evolution (NEME) problem, that is, finding a rooted tree that minimizes the minimum evolution score relative to the dissimilarity matrix among all rooted trees with the same leaf-set in which all leaves have the same d...
متن کاملThe Balanced Minimum Evolution Problem
A phylogeny is an unrooted binary tree that represents the evolutionary relationships of a set of n species. Phylogenies find applications in several scientific areas ranging from medical research, to drug discovery, to epidemiology, to systematics, and to population dynamics. In such applications the available information is usually restricted to the leaves of a phylogeny and is represented by...
متن کاملThe minimum evolution problem: Overview and classification
Molecular phylogenetics studies the hierarchical evolutionary relationships among organisms by means of molecular data. These relationships are typically described through a weighted tree, called phylogeny, whose leaves represent the observed organisms, internal vertices represent the intermediate ancestors, and the edges represent evolutionary relationships between pairs of organisms. Molecula...
متن کاملApproximating the balanced minimum evolution problem
We prove a strong inapproximability result for the Balanced Minimum Evolution Problem. Our proof also implies that the problem remains NP-hard even when restricted to metric instances. Furthermore, we give a MST-based 2-approximation algorithm for the problem for such instances.
