How do you interpret a max clade credibility tree?

How do you interpret a max clade credibility tree?

Each clade within the tree is given a score based on the fraction of times that it appears in the set of sampled posterior trees, and the product of these scores are taken as the tree’s score. The tree with the highest score is then the maximum clade credibility tree.

What are clade credibility values?

This is typically accomplished by examining measures of “clade credibility” (such as bootstrap or posterior probability values), which represent how reproducible relationships are within the tree based on the parameters of the phylogenetic analysis.

What is a consensus tree?

Consensus tree is a phylogenetic tree that summarizes the branching information of a set of conflicting phylogenetic trees. Computing consensus tree is a major step in phylogenetic tree reconstruction. It also finds application in predicting a species tree from a set of gene trees.

What is a consensus phylogenetic tree?

Abstract. A consensus tree method takes a collection of phylogenetic trees and outputs a single “representative” tree. The first consensus method was proposed by Adams in 1972. Since then a large variety of different methods have been developed, and there has been considerable debate over how they should be used.

How do you cite a TreeAnnotator?

If you use TreeAnnotator, please cite: Drummond, A. J. and A. Rambaut. 2007.

What consensus tree method is used to construct the Bayesian tree from the posterior distribution?

Instead, the most common method for summarizing a posterior distribution of phylogenies is the majority-rule consensus (MRC) tree as a point estimate with partition probabilities at each internal node as a measure of the uncertainty.

What is strict consensus tree?

A consensus tree provides an estimate for the level of support for each clade in the final tree. A 100% support threshold results in a “Strict consensus tree” which is a tree where the included clades are those that are present in all the trees of the original set.

What is a bootstrap consensus tree?

The bootstrap value for a clade is the proportion of the replicate trees that recovered that particular clade (fig. 1). These values may be mapped on a bootstrap consensus tree, which is built by summarizing all replicate trees using a consensus method.

What is TreeAnnotator?

TreeAnnotator is a program to summarize the information from a sample of trees produced by BEAST onto a single “target” tree.

How do I cite LogCombiner?

Once LogCombiner has finished you can analyse the combined log file in Tracer. If you use LogCombiner here, please cite: Drummond AJ & Rambaut A (2007) “BEAST: Bayesian evolutionary analysis by sampling trees.”

What is a Bayesian decision tree?

Bayesian Decision Trees provide a probabilistic framework that reduces the instability of Decision Trees while maintaining their explainability.
