Neighbor Joining Algorithms for Inferring Phylogenies via LCA Distances
Reconstructing phylogenetic trees efficiently and accurately from distance estimates is an ongoing challenge in computational biology from both practical and theoretical consider...

Fast and Accurate Phylogeny Reconstruction Algorithms Based on the Minimum-Evolution Principle
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...

Why neighbor-joining works
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...
