چکیده
One of the main applications of balance indices is in tests of nullmodels of evolutionary processes. The knowledge of an exact formula for a statistic of a balance index, holding for any number n of leaves, is necessary in order to use this statistic in tests of this kind involving trees of any size. In this paper we obtain exact formulas for the variance under the Yule model of the Sackin, the Colless and the total cophenetic indices of binary rooted phylogenetic trees with n leaves.

A new balance index for phylogenetic trees
Several indices that measure the degree of balance of a rooted phylogenetic tree have been proposed so far in the literature. In this work we define and study a new index of this kind, which we call the total cophenetic index: the sum, over all pairs of different leaves, of the depth of their lowest common ancestor. This index makes sense for arbitrary trees, can be computed in linear time and ...
متن کاملPerformance Analysis of Device to Device Communications Overlaying/Underlaying Cellular Network
Minimizing the outage probability and maximizing throughput are two important aspects in device to device (D2D) communications, which are greatly related to each other. In this paper, first, the exact formulas of the outage probability for D2D communications underlaying or overlaying cellular network are derived which jointly experience Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) and Rayleigh multipat...
متن کاملDistance-Based Topological Indices and Double graph
Let $G$ be a connected graph, and let $D[G]$ denote the double graph of $G$. In this paper, we first derive closed-form formulas for different distance based topological indices for $D[G]$ in terms of that of $G$. Finally, as illustration examples, for several special kind of graphs, such as, the complete graph, the path, the cycle, etc., the explicit formulas for some distance based topologica...
متن کاملEffect of Non-Normality on Sampling Plan Using Yule’s Model
In this paper, the effect of non-normality on sampling plan using Yule’s model (second order auto regressive model {AR (2)}) represented by the Edgeworth series is studied for known $sigma$. The effect of using the normal theory sampling plan in a non-normal situation using Yule’s model is studied by obtaining the distorted errors of the first and second kind. As one will be interes...
متن کاملSequential-Based Approach for Estimating the Stress-Strength Reliability Parameter for Exponential Distribution
In this paper, two-stage and purely sequential estimation procedures are considered to construct fixed-width confidence intervals for the reliability parameter under the stress-strength model when the stress and strength are independent exponential random variables with different scale parameters. The exact distribution of the stopping rule under the purely sequential procedure is approximated ...
