Methods suggested by LeQuesne for cladistic analysis under Dollo's Law in the sense of
Crowson are shown to be inappropriate, as they may lead to clustering by symplesiomorphy.
The use of most parsimonious trees in phylogenetic analysis under the Dollo model is
justified as a statistical inference method.
Abstract
Methods suggested by LeQuesne for cladistic analysis under Dollo's Law in the sense of Crowson are shown to be inappropriate, as they may lead to clustering by symplesiomorphy. The use of most parsimonious trees in phylogenetic analysis under the Dollo model is justified as a statistical inference method.
