Evolutionary trees from gene frequencies and quantitative characters: finding maximum likelihood estimates and testing hypotheses

Technical Report Felsenstein, J

The assumptions involved in maximum likelihood estimation of evolutionary trees from quantitative character data are described. A strict maximum likelihood method applied to the case of two populations encounters singularities in the likelihood surface, and even when restrictions are placed on the parameters to avoid this the resulting estimate is converged to the wrong value as more characters are considered. These problems arise because new nuisance parameters are introduced every time a new character is added. If the data are assumed to consist only of the differences between population phenotypes, and a maximum likelihood solution based on this transformed datamore »« less

Evolutionary trees from DNA sequences: a maximum-likelihood approach

Technical Report Felsenstein, J

The application of maximum likelihood techniques to the estimation of evolutionary trees from nucleic acid sequence data is discussed. A computationally feasible method for finding such maximum likelihood estimates is developed, and a computer program is available. This method has advantages over the traditional parsimony algorithms, which can give misleading results if rates of evolution differ in different lineages. It also allows the testing of hypotheses about the constancy of evolutionary rates by likelihood ratio tests, and gives rough indication of the error of the estimate of the tree.

Maximum-likelihood estimation of gene location by linkage disequilibrium

Journal Article Hill, W G ; Weir, B S - American Journal of Human Genetics; (United States)

Linkage disequilibrium, D, between a polymorphic disease and mapped markers can, in principle, be used to help find the map position of the disease gene. Likelihoods are therefore derived for the value of D conditional on the observed number of haplotypes in the sample and on the population parameter Nc, where N is the effective population size and c the recombination fraction between the disease and marker loci. The likelihood is computed explicitly for the case of two loci with heterozygote superiority and, more generally, by computer simulations assuming a steady state of constant population size and selective pressures ormore »« less
