Abstract excerpt
Likelihood methods and methods using invariants are procedures for inferring the evolutionary relationships among species through statistical analysis of nucleic acid sequences. A likelihood-ratio test may be used to determine the feasibility of any tree for which the maximum likelihood can be computed. The method of linear invariants described by Cavender, which includes Lake's method of evolutionary parsimony...
