Testing Substitution Models Within a Phylogenetic Tree
Phylogenetic tree reconstruction frequently assumes the homogeneity of the substitution process over the whole tree. To test this assumption statistically, we propose a test bas...
Phylogeny Estimation and Hypothesis Testing Using Maximum Likelihood
One of the strengths of the maximum likelihood method of phylogenetic estimation is the ease with which hypotheses can be formulated and tested. Maximum likelihood analysis of D...
Selecting the Best-Fit Model of Nucleotide Substitution
Despite the relevant role of models of nucleotide substitution in phylogenetics, choosing among different models remains a problem. Several statistical methods for selecting the...
The Effects of Nucleotide Substitution Model Assumptions on Estimates of Nonparametric Bootstrap Support
The use of parameter-rich substitution models in molecular phylogenetics has been criticized on the basis that these models can cause a reduction both in accuracy and in the abi...
Likelihood Ratio Tests for Model Selection and Non-Nested Hypotheses
In this paper, we develop a classical approach to model selection. Using the Kullback-Leibler Information Criterion to measure the closeness of a model to the truth, we propose ...
