A comparison of ancestral state reconstruction methods for quantitative characters.
Choosing an ancestral state reconstruction method among the alternatives available for quantitative characters may be puzzling. We present here a comparison of seven of them, namely the maximum likelihood, restricted maximum likelihood, generalized least squares under Brownian, Brownian-with-trend and Ornstein-Uhlenbeck models, phylogenetic independent contrasts and squared parsimony methods. A...
متن کاملRapid maximum likelihood ancestral state reconstruction of continuous characters: A rerooting‐free algorithm
Ancestral state reconstruction is a method used to study the evolutionary trajectories of quantitative characters on phylogenies. Although efficient methods for univariate ancestral state reconstruction under a Brownian motion model have been described for at least 25 years, to date no generalization has been described to allow more complex evolutionary models, such as multivariate trait evolut...
متن کاملTree Reconstruction from Multi-State Characters
In evolutionary biology, a character is a function χ from a set X of present-day species into a finite set of states. Suppose the species in X have evolved according to a bifurcating tree T . Biologists would like to use characters to infer this tree. Assume that χ is the result of an evolutionary process on T that has not involved reverse or parallel transitions, such characters are called hom...
متن کاملon the comparison of keyword and semantic-context methods of learning new vocabulary meaning
the rationale behind the present study is that particular learning strategies produce more effective results when applied together. the present study tried to investigate the efficiency of the semantic-context strategy alone with a technique called, keyword method. to clarify the point, the current study seeked to find answer to the following question: are the keyword and semantic-context metho...
