Assessing 3D tree model quality and species classification using imbalance indices
Sophie J. Kersting, Mareike Fischer
We investigate the use of additional 3D and phylogenetic non-3D tree balance indices for analyzing and monitoring forests using an exemplary "virtual forest" dataset from the Wytha…
Tree balance in phylogenetic models
Sophie J. Kersting, Kristina Wicke, Mareike Fischer
Tree shape statistics, particularly measures of tree (im)balance, play an important role in the analysis of the shape of phylogenetic trees. With applications ranging from testing…
Measuring 3D tree imbalance of plant models using graph-theoretical approaches
Sophie J. Kersting, A. Luise Kühn, Mareike Fischer
Imbalance in the 3D structure of plants can be an important indicator of insufficient light or nutrient supply, as well as excessive wind, (formerly present) physical barriers, nei…
Tree balance indices: a comprehensive survey
Mareike Fischer, Lina Herbst, Sophie Kersting +2
Tree balance plays an important role in phylogenetics and other research areas, which is why several indices to measure tree balance have been introduced over the years. Neverthele…
Measuring tree balance using symmetry nodes -- a new balance index and its extremal properties
Sophie J. Kersting, Mareike Fischer
Effects like selection in evolution as well as fertility inheritance in the development of populations can lead to a higher degree of asymmetry in evolutionary trees than expected…
