Links between maximum likelihood and maximum parsimony under a simple model of site substitution.

Abstract excerpt

Stochastic models of nucleotide substitution are playing an increasingly important role in phylogenetic reconstruction through such methods as maximum likelihood. Here, we examine the behaviour of a simple substitution model, and establish some links between the methods of maximum parsimony and maximum likelihood under this model.
