A NEW TEST TO BUILD CONFIDENCE REGIONS USING BALANCED MINIMUM EVOLUTION

Dai, Wei 16 August 2013 (has links)
In phylogenetic analysis, an important issue is to construct the confidence region for gene trees from DNA sequences. Usually estimation of the trees is the initial step. Maximum likelihood methods are widely applied but few tests are based on distance methods. In this thesis, we propose a new test based on balanced minimum evolution. We first examine the normality assumption of pairwise distance estimates under various model misspeci cations and also examine their variances, MSEs and squared biases. Then we compare the BME method with the WLS method in true tree reconstruction under different variance structures and model pairs. Finally, we develop a new test for finding a confidence region for the tree based on the BME method and demonstrate its effectiveness through simulation.

A árvore filogenética resultante apresenta uma certa topologia, ou padrão de ancestralidade, e os comprimentos dos ramos desta árvore são indicativos do número de mudanças evolutivas desde a divergência do ancestral comum. Tanto a topologia quanto os comprimentos de ramos são hipóteses descritivas de eventos não-observáveis e condicionais, razão pela qual tendem a existir diversas hipóteses de alta qualidade para a reconstrução, assim como múltiplos critérios de desempenho. Esta tese (i) aborda árvores sem raiz; (ii) enfatiza os critérios de quadrados mínimos, evolução mínima e máxima verossimilhança; (iii) propõe uma extensão ao algoritmo Neighbor Joining que oferece múltiplas hipóteses de alta qualidade para a reconstrução; e (iv) descreve e utiliza uma nova ferramenta para otimização multiobjetivo no contexto de reconstrução filogenética. São considerados dados artificiais e dados reais na apresentação de resultados, os quais apontam vantagens e aspectos diferenciais das metodologias propostas / Abstract: The reconstruction of phylogenetic trees can be interpreted as a systematic process of proposing an arborean description to the relative dissimilarities observed among sets of homologous genetic attributes of species being compared. The resulting phylogenetic tree presents a certain topology, or ancestrality pattern, and the length of the edges of the tree will indicate the number of evolutionary changes since the divergence from the common ancestor. Both topology and edge lengths are descriptive hypotheses of non-observable and conditional events, which implies the existence of diverse high-quality hypotheses for the reconstruction, as long as multiple performance criteria. This thesis (i) deals with unrooted trees; (ii) emphasizes the least squares, minimum evolution, and maximum likelihood criteria; (iii) proposes an extension to the Neighbor Joining algorithm which offers multiple high-quality reconstruction hypotheses; and (iv) describes and uses a new tool for multiobjective optimization in the context of phylogenetic reconstruction. Artificial and real datasets are considered in the presentation of results, which points to some advantages and distinctive aspects of the proposed methodologies / Doutorado / Engenharia de Computação / Doutor em Engenharia Elétrica
