Rapid maximum likelihood ancestral state reconstruction of continuous characters: A rerooting‐free algorithm
Ancestral state reconstruction is a method used to study the evolutionary trajectories of quantitative characters on phylogenies. Although efficient methods for univariate ancestral state reconstruction under a Brownian motion model have been described for at least 25 years, to date no generalization has been described to allow more complex evolutionary models, such as multivariate trait evolut...
متن کاملA comparison of ancestral state reconstruction methods for quantitative characters.
Choosing an ancestral state reconstruction method among the alternatives available for quantitative characters may be puzzling. We present here a comparison of seven of them, namely the maximum likelihood, restricted maximum likelihood, generalized least squares under Brownian, Brownian-with-trend and Ornstein-Uhlenbeck models, phylogenetic independent contrasts and squared parsimony methods. A...
متن کاملA Practical Algorithm for Estimation of the Maximum Likelihood Ancestral Reconstruction Error
The ancestral sequence reconstruction problem asks to predict the DNA or protein sequence of an ancestral species, given the sequences of extant species. Such reconstructions are fundamental to comparative genomics, as they provide information about extant genomes and the process of evolution that gave rise to them. Arguably the best method for ancestral reconstruction is maximum likelihood est...
متن کاملMaximum likelihood reconstruction of ancestral amino-acid sequences
Maximum-likelihood methods are used extensively in phylogenetic studies [3]. In particular, aminoacid sequences of ancestral species have been inferred using these methods [7]. Such ancestral reconstruction tasks aim at identifying either the most likely sequence in a specific ancestor species (marginal reconstruction), or the most likely set of ancestral states corresponding to all the ancestr...
متن کاملMaximum Likelihood Cluster Reconstruction
We present a novel method to reconstruct the mass distribution of galaxy clusters from their gravitational lens effect on background galaxies. The method is based on a least-x 2 fit of the two-dimensional gravitational cluster potential. The method combines information from shear and magnification by the cluster lens and is designed to easily incorporate possible additional information. We desc...
