TraitLab: a Matlab package for fitting and simulating binary tree-like data
Luke J. Kelly, Geoff K. Nicholls, Robin J. Ryder +1
TraitLab is a software package for simulating, fitting and analysing tree-like binary data under a stochastic Dollo model of evolution. The model also allows for rate heterogeneity…
Insufficient Gibbs Sampling
Antoine Luciano, Christian P. Robert, Robin J. Ryder
In some applied scenarios, the availability of complete data is restricted, often due to privacy concerns; only aggregated, robust and inefficient statistics derived from the data…
A Phylogenetic Model of the Evolution of Discrete Matrices for the Joint Inference of Lexical and Phonological Language Histories
Grégoire Clarté, Robin J. Ryder
We propose a model of the evolution of a matrix along a phylogenetic tree, in which transformations affect either entire rows or columns of the matrix. This represents the change o…
Evolution and trade-off dynamics of functional load
Erich Round, Rikker Dockum, Robin J. Ryder
Function Load (FL) quantifies the contributions by phonological contrasts to distinctions made across the lexicon. Previous research has linked particularly low values of FL to sou…
Lagged couplings diagnose Markov chain Monte Carlo phylogenetic inference
Luke J. Kelly, Robin J. Ryder, Grégoire Clarté
Phylogenetic inference is an intractable statistical problem on a complex space. Markov chain Monte Carlo methods are the primary tool for Bayesian phylogenetic inference but it is…
Component-wise approximate Bayesian computation via Gibbs-like steps
Grégoire Clarté, Christian P. Robert, Robin Ryder +1
Approximate Bayesian computation methods are useful for generative models with intractable likelihoods. These methods are however sensitive to the dimension of the parameter space,…
