متن کاملIs sparse taxon sampling a problem for phylogenetic inference?
As expected, with more data (total nucleotides) we were able to reconstruct more accurate phylogenies. When the number of taxa sampled per clade was increased, the interrelationships of those clades could be inferred more accurately. However, sampling in experimental design is only relevant in the context of resource limitation; therefore, to compare apples to apples, we used the number of nucl...
متن کاملIncomplete taxon sampling is not a problem for phylogenetic inference.
A major issue in all data collection for molecular phylogenetics is taxon sampling, which refers to the use of data from only a small representative set of species for inferring higher-level evolutionary history. Insufficient taxon sampling is often cited as a significant source of error in phylogenetic studies, and consequently, acquisition of large data sets is advocated. To test this asserti...

متن کاملExplanatory Inference under Uncertainty
Abstract. This paper investigates the performance of explanatory or abductive inference in certain hypothesis selection tasks. The strategy is to use various measures of explanatory power to compare competing hypotheses and then make an inference to the best explanation. Computer simulations are used to compare the accuracy of such approaches with a standard approach when uncertainty is present...
