A geometric framework for statistics on trees
نویسندگان
چکیده
This is a technical report summarizing recent results on a statistical shape analysis framework for tree-like shapes. A theoretical approach to the space of tree-like shapes and how its geometry can be utilized for tree-shape statistics is found in Chapter 1. In Chapter 2 we discuss several approaches to computing average tree-shapes.

The second geometric-arithmetic index for trees and unicyclic graphs
Let $G$ be a finite and simple graph with edge set $E(G)$. The second geometric-arithmetic index is defined as $GA_2(G)=sum_{uvin E(G)}frac{2sqrt{n_un_v}}{n_u+n_v}$, where $n_u$ denotes the number of vertices in $G$ lying closer to $u$ than to $v$. In this paper we find a sharp upper bound for $GA_2(T)$, where $T$ is tree, in terms of the order and maximum degree o...
متن کاملA geometric approach to tree shape statistics.
This article presents a new way to quantify the descriptive ability of tree shape statistics. Where before, tree shape statistics were chosen by their ability to distinguish between macroevolutionary models, the resolution presented in this paper quantifies the ability of a statistic to differentiate between similar and different trees. This is termed the geometric approach to differentiate it ...
متن کاملProbabilistic analysis of the asymmetric digital search trees
In this paper, by applying three functional operators the previous results on the (Poisson) variance of the external profile in digital search trees will be improved. We study the profile built over $n$ binary strings generated by a memoryless source with unequal probabilities of symbols and use a combinatorial approach for studying the Poissonized variance, since the probability distribution o...
متن کاملPoint estimates in phylogenetic reconstructions
MOTIVATION The construction of statistics for summarizing posterior samples returned by a Bayesian phylogenetic study has so far been hindered by the poor geometric insights available into the space of phylogenetic trees, and ad hoc methods such as the derivation of a consensus tree makeup for the ill-definition of the usual concepts of posterior mean, while bootstrap methods mitigate the absen...
متن کاملDetection of some Tree Species from Terrestrial Laser Scanner Point Cloud Data Using Support-vector Machine and Nearest Neighborhood Algorithms
acquisition field reference data using conventional methods due to limited and time-consuming data from a single tree in recent years, to generate reference data for forest studies using terrestrial laser scanner data, aerial laser scanner data, radar and Optics has become commonplace, and complete, accurate 3D data from a single tree or reference trees can be recorded. The detection and identi...
