Weights for data related by a tree - PubMed (original) (raw)

S F Altschul et al. J Mol Biol. 1989.

Abstract

How can one characterize a set of data collected from different biological species, or indeed any set of data related by an evolutionary tree? The structure imposed by the tree implies that the data are not independent, and for most applications this should be taken into account. We describe strategies for weighting the data that circumvent some of the problems of dependency.
