Abstract excerpt
The statistical properties of the paralinear and LogDet distances under nonstationary nucleotide frequencies were studied. First, we developed formulas for correcting the estimation biases of the paralinear and LogDet distances, i.e., the bias-corrected distance is estimated by dc = d - 2var(d), where d and var(d) are the estimated distance and sampling variance, respectively. The performances of these formulas...
