Maximum likelihood Jukes-Cantor triplets: analytic solutions.
Maximum likelihood (ML) is a popular method for inferring a phylogenetic tree of the evolutionary relationship of a set of taxa, from observed homologous aligned genetic sequences of the taxa. Generally, the computation of the ML tree is based on numerical methods, which in a few cases, are known to converge to a local maximum on a tree, which is suboptimal. The extent of this problem is unknow...
متن کاملMaximum Likelihood Molecular Clock Comb: Analytic Solutions
Maximum likelihood (ML) is increasingly used as an optimality criterion for selecting evolutionary trees, but finding the global optimum is a hard computational task. Because no general analytic solution is known, numeric techniques such as hill climbing or expectation maximization (EM), are used in order to find optimal parameters for a given tree. So far, analytic solutions were derived only ...
متن کاملAnalytic solutions of maximum likelihood on forks of four taxa.
This work deals with symbolic mathematical solutions to maximum likelihood on small phylogenetic trees. Maximum likelihood (ML) is increasingly used as an optimality criterion for selecting evolutionary trees, but finding the global optimum is a hard computational task. In this work, we give general analytic solutions for a family of trees with four taxa, two state characters, under a molecular...

متن کاملIdentifiability of 3-Class Jukes-Cantor Mixtures
We prove identifiability of the tree parameters of the 3-class Jukes-Cantor mixture model. The proof uses ideas from algebraic statistics, in particular: finding phylogenetic invariants that separate the varieties associated to different triples of trees; computing dimensions of the resulting phylogenetic varieties; and using the disentangling number to reduce to trees with a small number of le...
