Maximum likelihood estimation of population divergence times and population phylogenies under the infinite sites model.

Abstract excerpt

In this paper, a maximum likelihood estimator of population divergence time based on the infinite sites model is developed. It is demonstrated how this estimator may be applied to obtain maximum likelihood estimates of the topology of population phylogenies. This approach addresses several classical problems occurring in the inference of the phylogenetic relationship of populations, most notably the problem of...
