A Simple Method for Estimating and Testing Minimum-Evolution
A simple method for estimating and testing phylogenetic trees under the principle of minimum evolution (ME) is presented. The basic procedure of this method is first to obtain the neighbor-joining (NJ) tree by Saitou and Nei’s method and then to search for a tree with the minimum value of the sum (S) of branch lengths by examining all trees that are closely related to the NJ tree. Once the ME t...
متن کاملThe Large - Scale Velocity
1 Bulk Flows as a Cosmological Probe Hubble's Law, now spectacularly connrmed by the work of 27], 35], and 39], tells us that the distances of galaxies are proportional to their observed recession velocities, at least at low redshifts: cz = H 0 r : (1) However, this is not exactly correct. Galaxies have peculiar velocities above and beyond the Hubble ow indicated by Eq. (1). We denote the pecul...
متن کاملConstraints on Minimum Velocity Variance for Seismic Traveltime Tomography
SUMMARY Traveltime data together with known spacing between sources and receivers for seismic transmission tomography can be used to determine rigorous constraints on the minimum and maximum wave speeds in the propagating medium. These constraints lead to a new minimum variance criterion on inversion algorithms. These results do not improve the velocity reconstructions directly , but provide ri...
متن کاملThe Large-Scale Velocity Field
where the peculiar velocity of the Local Group itself is v(0), and r̂ is the unit vector to the galaxy in question. In practice, we will measure distances in units of km s, which means that H0 ≡ 1, and the uncertainties in the value of H0 discussed by Freedman and Tammann in this volume are not an issue. Thus measurements of redshifts cz, and of redshift-independent distances via standard candle...
متن کاملA method for estimating the power of moments
Let X be an observable random variable with unknown distribution function [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and let [Formula: see text] We call θ the power of moments of the random variable X. Let [Formula: see text] be a random sample of size n drawn from [Formula: see text]. In this paper we propose the following simple point estimator of θ and investigate its asymptotic properties: [...
