Reconstructing phylogenetic trees efficiently and accurately from distance estimates is an ongoing challenge in computational biology from both practical and theoretical consider...
This paper investigates the standard ordinary least-squares version 24 and the balanced version 20 of the minimum evolution principle. For the standard version, we provide a greedy...
We show that the neighbor-joining algorithm is a robust quartet method for constructing trees from distances. This leads to a new performance guarantee that contains Atteson's...
