Efficient Recycled Algorithms for Quantitative Trait Models on Phylogenies.

Genome biology and evolution - 12 May 2016

Hiscott Gordon, Fox Colin, Parry Matthew, Bryant David

Abstract excerpt

We present an efficient and flexible method for computing likelihoods for phenotypic traits on a phylogeny. The method does not resort to Monte Carlo computation but instead blends Felsenstein's discrete character pruning algorithm with methods for numerical quadrature. It is not limited to Gaussian models and adapts readily to model uncertainty in the observed trait values. We demonstrate the framework by...
