Brownian motion, bridges and Bayesian inference in phylogenetic tree space
William M. Woodman, Tom M. W. Nye
Billera-Holmes-Vogtmann (BHV) tree space is a geodesic metric space of edge-weighted phylogenetic trees with a fixed leaf set. Constructing parametric distributions on this space i…
Statistics for Phylogenetic Trees in the Presence of Stickiness
Lars Lammers, Tom M. W. Nye, Stephan F. Huckemann
Samples of phylogenetic trees arise in a variety of evolutionary and biomedical applications, and the Fréchet mean in Billera-Holmes-Vogtmann tree space is a summary tree shown to…
Types of Stickiness in BHV Phylogenetic Tree Spaces and Their Degree
Lars Lammers, Do Tran Van, Tom M. W. Nye +1
It has been observed that the sample mean of certain probability distributions in Billera-Holmes-Vogtmann (BHV) phylogenetic spaces is confined to a lower-dimensional subspace for…
Foundations of the Wald Space for Phylogenetic Trees
Jonas Lueg, Maryam K. Garba, Tom M. W. Nye +1
Evolutionary relationships between species are represented by phylogenetic trees, but these relationships are subject to uncertainty due to the random nature of evolution. A geomet…
A sparse Bayesian hierarchical vector autoregressive model for microbial dynamics in a wastewater treatment plant
Naomi E. Hannaford, Sarah E. Heaps, Tom M. W. Nye +4
Proper function of a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) relies on maintaining a delicate balance between a multitude of competing microorganisms. Gaining a detailed understanding of…
Incorporating compositional heterogeneity into Lie Markov models for phylogenetic inference
Naomi E. Hannaford, Sarah E. Heaps, Tom M. W. Nye +2
Phylogenetics uses alignments of molecular sequence data to learn about evolutionary trees. Substitutions in sequences are modelled through a continuous-time Markov process, charac…
