Inconsistency of phylogenetic estimations refers to the property of certain estimation methods to converge on the positively wrong estimate with increasing amounts of data. This property, at least ...
Intraspecific variation is abundant in all types of systematic characters but is rarely addressed in simulation studies of phylogenetic method performance. We compared the accuracy of 15 phylogenetic ...
The goal of this blog post is to achieve the following: Introduce the concept of parsimony as used by scientists to those unfamiliar with the term. Examine how common rhetoric adopted by members of ...
A new article argues that by relying too much on parsimony in modeling, scientists make mistakes and miss opportunities. Medieval friar William of Ockham posited a famous idea: always pick the ...
The rapid accumulation of genome sequence data has made phylogenetics an indispensable tool to various branches of biology. However, it has also posed considerable statistical and computational ...
Language develops not only for the purpose of articulating large ideas but also for the purpose of capturing nuances of human qualities. The word that exemplifies this is parsimony, a word that ...
