Personally I have yet to do a model-based analysis of morphological data that returns sensible results, be it phylogenetic inference or simple ancestral state reconstruction, so I am not sure how the authors did it.Alex SLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00801894164903608204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3342041114052632712.post-69585061139204426152016-06-14T19:47:05.753+10:002016-06-14T19:47:05.753+10:00On the contrary, I think the interpretation of the...On the contrary, I think the interpretation of the various tweeters of O'Reilly et al.'s results is more fitting than the author's. Precision (more resolution) without accuracy isn't a neutral trade-off: its something about a method that we should actively avoid, because it blinds us to an appropriate assessment of the uncertainty we have regarding the data. Who wants a well-resolved tree that is mostly wrong? I'd much rather have a poorly resolved tree that is more accurate.dwbapsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17606476387441191531noreply@blogger.com
