mlphylo
estimates a phylogenetic tree by maximum likelihood
given a set of DNA sequences. The model of evolution is specified with
the function DNAmodel
. logLik
, deviance
, and AIC
are generic functions
used to extract the log-likelihood, the deviance (-2*logLik), or the
Akaike information criterion of a tree. If no such values are
available, NULL
is returned.
mlphylo(model = DNAmodel(), x, phy, search.tree = FALSE, quiet = FALSE)
## S3 method for class 'phylo':
logLik(object, ...)
## S3 method for class 'phylo':
deviance(object, ...)
## S3 method for class 'phylo':
AIC(object, ..., k = 2)
"phylo"
with branch lengths as estimated by
the function. There are two additional attributes: The model specified by DNAmodel
is fitted using the
standard ``pruning'' algorithm of Felsenstein (1981). An algorithm for
the estimation of tree topology is under development, and will be
released when ready.
The implementation of the inter-sites variation in substitution rates follows the methodology developed by Yang (1994).
The difference among partitions is parametrized with a contrast parameter (denoted $\xi$) that specifies the contrast in mean susbtitution rate among the partitions. This methodology is inspired from one introduced by Yang (1996).
The substitution rates are indexed column-wise in the rate matrix: the first rate is set to one.
