Squaring within the Colless index yields a better balance index
Tomás M. Coronado, Arnau Mir, Francesc Rosselló
The Colless index for bifurcating phylogenetic trees, introduced by Colless (1982), is defined as the sum, over all internal nodes of the tree, of the absolute value of the dif…
Sound Colless-like balance indices for multifurcating trees
Arnau Mir, Francesc Rossello, Lucia Rotger
The Colless index is one of the most popular and natural balance indices for bifurcating phylogenetic trees, but it makes no sense for multifurcating trees. In this paper we propos…
A balance index for phylogenetic trees based on rooted quartets
Tomás M. Coronado, Arnau Mir, Francesc Rosselló +1
We define a new balance index for rooted phylogenetic trees based on the symmetry of the evolutive history of every set of 4 leaves. This index makes sense for multifurcating trees…
The probabilities of trees and cladograms under Ford's -model
Tomás M. Coronado, Arnau Mir, Francesc Rosselló
We give correct explicit formulas for the probabilities of rooted binary trees and cladograms under Ford's -model.
The expected value of the squared euclidean cophenetic metric under the Yule and the uniform models
Gabriel Cardona, Arnau Mir, Francesc Rossello
The cophenetic metrics , for , are a recent addition to the kit of available distances for the comparison of phylogenetic trees. Based on a fifty y…
Cophenetic metrics for phylogenetic trees, after Sokal and Rohlf
Gabriel Cardona, Arnau Mir, Francesc Rossello +2
Phylogenetic tree comparison metrics are an important tool in the study of evolution, and hence the definition of such metrics is an interesting problem in phylogenetics. In a pape…
