PACo: A Novel Procrustes Application to Cophylogenetic Analysis
We present Procrustean Approach to Cophylogeny (PACo), a novel statistical tool to test for congruence between phylogenetic trees, or between phylogenetic distance matrices of associated taxa. Unlike previous tests, PACo evaluates the dependence of one phylogeny upon the other. This makes it especially appropriate to test the classical coevolutionary model that assumes that parasites that spend...
متن کاملCOPYCAT : cophylogenetic analysis tool
UNLABELLED We have developed the software CopyCat which provides an easy and fast access to cophylogenetic analyses. It incorporates a wrapper for the program ParaFit, which conducts a statistical test for the presence of congruence between host and parasite phylogenies. CopyCat offers various features, such as the creation of customized host-parasite association data and the computation of phy...
متن کاملA simple alternative to Generalized Procrustes Analysis: Application to sensory profiling data
A statistical method for analysing sensory profiling data obtained by means of fixed vocabulary or free choice profiling is discussed. The most interesting feature of this method is that it involves only simple statistical treatment and can therefore be performed using standard software packages. The outcomes of this method are compared to those of Generalized Procrustes Analysis on the basis o...
متن کاملCophylogenetic analysis of dated trees
Parasites and the associations they form with their hosts is an important area of research due to the associated health risks which parasites pose to the human population. The associations parasites form with their hosts are responsible for a number of the worst emerging diseases impacting global health today, including Ebola, HIV, and malaria. Macro-scale coevolutionary research aims to analys...
متن کاملContinuous Generalized Procrustes analysis
Two-dimensional shape models have been successfully applied to solve many problems in computer vision, such as object tracking, recognition, and segmentation. Typically, 2D shape models are learned from a discrete set of image landmarks (corresponding to projection of 3D points of an object), after applying Generalized Procustes Analysis (GPA) to remove 2D rigid transformations. However, the st...
