On the optimality of the neighbor-joining algorithm
Kord Eickmeyer, Peter Huggins, Lior Pachter +1
The popular neighbor-joining (NJ) algorithm used in phylogenetics is a greedy algorithm for finding the balanced minimum evolution (BME) tree associated to a dissimilarity map. Fro…

Maximum likelihood estimation of phylogenetic tree and substitution rates via generalized neighbor-joining and the EM algorithm
Asger Hobolth, Ruriko Yoshida
A central task in the study of molecular sequence data from present-day species is the reconstruction of the ancestral relationships. The most established approach to tree reconstr…

Neighbor joining with phylogenetic diversity estimates
Dan Levy, Ruriko Yoshida, Lior Pachter
The Neighbor-Joining algorithm is a recursive procedure for reconstructing trees that is based on a transformation of pairwise distances between leaves. We present a generalization…
