Improving phylogenetic regression under complex evolutionary models.
Phylogenetic Generalized Least Square (PGLS) is the tool of choice among phylogenetic comparative methods to measure the correlation between species features such as morphological and life-history traits or niche characteristics. In its usual form, it assumes that the residual variation follows a homogenous model of evolution across the branches of the phylogenetic tree. Since a homogenous mode...
متن کاملEvolutionary models of phylogenetic trees.
The most widely used evolutionary model for phylogenetic trees is the equal-rates Markov (ERM) model. A problem is that the ERM model predicts less imbalance than observed for trees inferred from real data; in fact, the observed imbalance tends to fall between the values predicted by the ERM model and those predicted by the proportional-to-distinguishable-arrangements (PDA) model. Here, a conti...
متن کاملImproving Testing of Complex Software Models through Evolutionary Test Generation
Considerable cognitive effort is required to write test cases for complex software and fix any defects found. As the generation of test cases using evolutionary computation has a long established track record, this paper explores whether this pedigree can be exploited to improve efficiencies in larger testing suites that typically address complex software models. A genetic algorithm has been de...
متن کاملInterpreting Complex Regression Models
Interpretation of a machine learning induced models is critical for feature engineering, debugging, and, arguably, compliance. Yet, best of breed machine learning models tend to be very complex. This paper presents a method for model interpretation which has the main benefit that the simple interpretations it provides are always grounded in actual sets of learning examples. The method is valida...
متن کاملUnderstanding the Importance of Taxonomic Sampling for Large-scale Phylogenetic Analyses by Simulating Evolutionary Processes under Complex Models
Appropriate and extensive taxon sampling is one of the most important determinants of accurate phylogenetic estimation. In addition, accuracy of inferences about evolutionary processes obtained from phylogenetic analyses is improved significantly by thorough taxon sampling efforts. Much of the previous work examining the impact of taxon sampling on phylogenetic accuracy has focused on the effec...
