Computational Tools for Evaluating Phylogenetic and Hierarchical Clustering Trees
Inferential summaries of tree estimates are useful in the setting of evolutionary biology, where phylogenetic trees have been built from DNA data since the 1960’s. In bioinformatics, psychometrics and data mining, hierarchical clustering techniques output the same mathematical objects, and practitioners have similar questions about the stability and ‘generalizability’ of these summaries. This p...
متن کاملUsing Clustering Trees for Learning Phylogenetic Trees
This paper presents ongoing work on an application of machine learning in phylogenetic analysis, which is the study of evolutionary relatedness among various groups of organisms. Insights in evolutionary relationships are important because they can help to determine the function of uncharacterized genes and they can be used to predict future variants of fast-growing viruses. More precisely, we ...
متن کاملDependent nonparametric trees for dynamic hierarchical clustering
Hierarchical clustering methods offer an intuitive and powerful way to model a wide variety of data sets. However, the assumption of a fixed hierarchy is often overly restrictive when working with data generated over a period of time: We expect both the structure of our hierarchy, and the parameters of the clusters, to evolve with time. In this paper, we present a distribution over collections ...
متن کاملTowards the Development of Computational Tools for Evaluating Phylogenetic Network Reconstruction Methods
We report on a suite of algorithms and techniques that together provide a simulation flow for studying the topological accuracy of methods for reconstructing phylogenetic networks. We implemented those algorithms and techniques and used three phylogenetic reconstruction methods for a case study of our tools. We present the results of our experimental studies in analyzing the relative performanc...
متن کاملExploring hierarchical visualization designs using phylogenetic trees
Ongoing research on information visualization has produced an ever-increasing number of visualization designs. Despite this activity, limited progress has been made in categorizing this large number of information visualizations. This makes understanding their common design features challenging, and obscures the yet unexplored areas of novel designs. With this work, we provide categorization fr...
