How is maximum parsimony method different from maximum likelihood method for phylogenetic analysis? |
|
Answer» The difference between these TWO criteria is that minimum evolution is CALCULATED from a distance matrix, whereas maximum PARSIMONY is calculated directly using the character matrix. Like the maximum-parsimony tree, the minimum-evolution tree must be sought in "tree space", typically using a HEURISTIC SEARCH method. |
