Bayesian phylogenetic inference via Markov chain Monte Carlo methods.
We derive a Markov chain to sample from the posterior distribution for a phylogenetic tree given sequence information from the corresponding set of organisms, a stochastic model for these data, and a prior distribution on the space of trees. A transformation of the tree into a canonical cophenetic matrix form suggests a simple and effective proposal distribution for selecting candidate trees cl...
متن کاملBayesian Inference for PCFGs via Markov Chain Monte Carlo
This paper presents two Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms for Bayesian inference of probabilistic context free grammars (PCFGs) from terminal strings, providing an alternative to maximum-likelihood estimation using the Inside-Outside algorithm. We illustrate these methods by estimating a sparse grammar describing the morphology of the Bantu language Sesotho, demonstrating that with sui...
متن کاملMarkov chain Monte Carlo for Bayesian inference
The chord length transform (CLT) is a useful tool to analyze fibre structures. Assuming e.g. arandom process of straight fibres then a realization of such a process can be observed in a binaryimage. The CLT maps to each point in the foreground of a binary image and to each direction thelength of the related chord, where the chord is the connecting part of a line in the direction...
متن کاملAssessing the Convergence of Markov Chain Monte Carlo Methods for Bayesian Inference of Phylogenetic Trees
Assessing the Convergence of Markov Chain Monte Carlo Methods for Bayesian Inference of Phylogenetic Trees In biology, it is commonly of interest to investigate the ancestral pattern that gave rise to a currently existing group of individuals, such as genes or species. This ancestral pattern is frequently represented pictorially by a phylogenetic tree. Due to the growing popularity of Bayesian ...
متن کاملBayesian Computation Via Markov Chain Monte Carlo
A search for Markov chain Monte Carlo (or MCMC) articles on Google Scholar yields over 100,000 hits, and a general web search on Google yields 1.7 million hits. These results stem largely from the ubiquitous use of these algorithms in modern computational statistics, as we shall now describe. MCMC algorithms are used to solve problems in many scientific fields, including physics (where many MCM...
