Recommende Sources Reconstructing Molecular Phylogenies

Phylogeny, the tree of life Essential molecular mechanisms as replication and gene expression were found to be similar among the organisms studied so far. This favors the idea that all present day living organisms have evolved from a common ancestor. The relationship is called phylogeny and is represented by a phylogenetic tree.

A Corrected Parsimony Criterion for Reconstructing Phylogenies

In phylogenetic analysis, for non-molecular data, particularly morphology, parsimony optimization is the most commonly employed approach. In the past and present application of the parsimony principle, extra step numbers have been added across different characters without proper justification. This practice, however, has caused the impacts of characters to be inflated or deflated without a vali...

An R package for state-trace analysis.

State-trace analysis (Bamber, Journal of Mathematical Psychology, 19, 137-181, 1979) is a graphical analysis that can determine whether one or more than one latent variable mediates an apparent dissociation between the effects of two experimental manipulations. State-trace analysis makes only ordinal assumptions and so, is not confounded by range effects that plague alternative methods, especia...
