--- res: bibo_abstract: - "Several methods have been proposed to infer the states at the ancestral nodes on a phylogeny. These methods assume a specific tree and set of branch lengths when estimating the ancestral character state. Inferences of the ancestral states, then, are conditioned on the tree and branch lengths being true. We develop a hierarchical Bayes method for inferring the ancestral states on a tree. The method integrates over uncertainty in the tree, branch lengths, and substitution model parameters by using Markov chain Monte Carlo. We compare the hierarchical Bayes inferences of ancestral states with inferences of ancestral states made under the assumption that a specific tree is correct. We find that the methods are correlated, but that accommodating uncertainty in parameters of the phylogenetic model can make inferences of ancestral states even more uncertain than they would be in an empirical Bayes analysis.\r\n@eng" bibo_authorlist: - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: John foaf_name: Huelsenbeck, John foaf_surname: Huelsenbeck - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Jonathan P foaf_name: Bollback, Jonathan P foaf_surname: Bollback foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=2C6FA9CC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 orcid: 0000-0002-4624-4612 bibo_doi: 10.1080/10635150119871 bibo_issue: '3' bibo_volume: 50 dct_date: 2001^xs_gYear dct_isPartOf: - http://id.crossref.org/issn/0039-7989 dct_language: eng dct_publisher: Oxford University Press@ dct_title: Empirical and hierarchical Bayesian estimation of ancestral states@ fabio_hasPubmedId: '12116580' ...
