19 dubious ways to compute the marginal likelihood of a phylogenetic tree topology
Mathieu Fourment, Andrew F. Magee, Chris Whidden +3
The marginal likelihood of a model is a key quantity for assessing the evidence provided by the data in support of a model. The marginal likelihood is the normalizing constant for…
Systematic Exploration of the High Likelihood Set of Phylogenetic Tree Topologies
Chris Whidden, Brian C. Claywell, Thayer Fisher +3
Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo explores tree space slowly, in part because it frequently returns to the same tree topology. An alternative strategy would be to explore tree spac…
Quantifying MCMC Exploration of Phylogenetic Tree Space
Christopher Whidden, Frederick A. Matsen
In order to gain an understanding of the effectiveness of phylogenetic Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), it is important to understand how quickly the empirical distribution of the…
Fixed-Parameter and Approximation Algorithms for Maximum Agreement Forests
Chris Whidden, Robert G. Beiko, Norbert Zeh
We present new and improved fixed-parameter algorithms for computing maximum agreement forests (MAFs) of pairs of rooted binary phylogenetic trees. The size of such a forest for tw…
