New cards

upgma uses

pairwise distances - u

2
New cards

neighbor joining uses

pairwise distances - n

3
New cards

maximum parismony uses

characters directly, -m

4
New cards

maximum liklihood uses

characters directly -ml

5
New cards

bayesian inference uses

characters dircetly -b

6
New cards

upgma chooses tree by

clustering, joining the closest pair, repeat, no alternate trees are scored

7
New cards

neighbor joining chooses tree by

clustering, join the lowest q. a fast apprx to to minimum evolution

8
New cards

maximum parismony chooses tree by

criterion + heurisitc serarch, fewest charcater changes

9
New cards

maximum liklihood chooses tree by

criterion + heuristic search, highest P (data | tree, model)

10
New cards

bayesian inference chooses trees by

criterio + heuritc search; from posterior

11
New cards

upgma model of evolution

only possible isnide the distance correction

12
New cards

neighbor joining model of evolution

only possible inside the distance correction

13
New cards

maximum parisomony model of evolution

none

14
New cards

maximum liklihood model of evolution

explicit

15
New cards

bayesian inference model of evolution

explicit, plus priors

16
New cards

upgma branch lenghts

forced euqal at every join so tree is ultrametric

17
New cards

neighbor joining branch lengths

estimated, returns an unrooted tree

18
New cards

maximum parisomony branch lenghts

based on inferred character changes

19
New cards

maximum liklihood branch lengths

estimated frmo data under a model

20
New cards

bayesian inference branch lengths

estimated with uncertaininty

21
New cards

upgma and neighbor joining speed

superfast

22
New cards

maximum parisomny speed

fast

23
New cards

maximum liklihood speed

medum to slowb

24
New cards

bayesian inference speed

slow

25
New cards

main weakness of upgma

molecular clock, groups by similarlity, not ancestry, discards site via matrix

26
New cards

main weakness of neighborjoining

discards ste via matrix

27
New cards

main weakness of maximum parisomony

long branch attraction, doesnt use model of evolution

28
New cards

main weakness of maximum liklihood

only as gooda s the modelma

29
New cards

main weakness of bayesian inference

sensitive to priors, convergence has to be checked
