Figure 12From: Branch length estimation and divergence dating: estimates of error in Bayesian and maximum likelihood frameworksEstimates of parameters in ML analysis. The estimated transition:transversion rate ratio (kappa) plotted against branch length. Kappa was estimated from the data in an ML framework using PAUP* for 4-taxon equal-branch-length HKY datasets of 1 and 10 kb, and for 8-taxon datasets of 1 kb. Kappa used for simulations was 4 (transition:transversion = 2, equal base frequencies, twice as many transitions as transversions). This analysis is equivalent to that of Figure 6, but conducted using an ML framework.Back to article page
