Maximal Accurate Forests from Distance Matrices
Abstract. We present a fast converging method for distance-based phylogenetic inference, which is novel in two respects. First, it is the only method (to our knowledge) to guarante...

Join Tree Propagation Utilizing Both Arc Reversal and Variable Elimination
In this paper, we put forth the first join tree propagation algorithm that selectively applies either arc reversal (AR) or variable elimination (VE) to build the propagated messag...

An Investigation of Phylogenetic Likelihood Methods
Abstract— We analyze the performance of likelihoodbased approaches used to reconstruct phylogenetic trees. Unlike other techniques such as Neighbor-Joining (NJ) and Maximum Parsi...

Top-Down Induction of Phylogenetic Trees
We propose a novel distance based method for phylogenetic tree reconstruction. Our method is based on a conceptual clustering method that extends the well-known decision tree learn...

Short Quartet Puzzling: A New Quartet-Based Phylogeny Reconstruction Algorithm
Quartet-based phylogeny reconstruction methods, such as Quartet Puzzling, were introduced in the hope that they might be competitive with maximum likelihood methods, without being...
