Relative apparent synapomorphy analysis (RASA). I: The statistical measurement of phylogenetic signal.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Jul 1996

Lyons-Weiler J, Hoelzer G A, Tausch R J

Abstract excerpt

We have developed a new approach to the measurement of phylogenetic signal in character state matrices called relative apparent synapomorphy analysis (RASA). RASA provides a deterministic, statistical measure of natural cladistic hierarchy (phylogenetic signal) in character state matrices. The method works by determining whether a measure of the rate of increase of cladistic similarity among pairs of taxa as a...
