Difference in log likelihood at site


Paired sites testsWinning sites test (Prager and Wilson, 1988). Do a sign test on thesigns of the differences.

z test (me, 1993 in PHYLIP documentation). Assume differencesare normal, do z test of whether mean (hence sum) difference issignificant.

t test. Swofford et. al., 1996: do a t test (paired)

Wilcoxon ranked sums test (Templeton, 1983).

RELL test (Kishino and Hasegawa, 1989 per my suggestion).Bootstrap resample sites, get distribution of difference of totals.


In our example ...

Winning sites test. 160 of 232 sites favor tree I. P < 3.279 × 10−9

z test. Difference of log-likeihood totals is 0.948104 standarddeviations from 0, P = 0.343077. Not significant.

t test. Same as z test for this large a number of sites.

Wilcoxon ranked sums test. Rank sum is 4.82805 standarddeviations below its expected value, P = 0.000001378765

RELL test. 8,326 out of 10,000 samples have a positive sum,P = 0.3348 (two-sided)


The Shimodaira-Hasegawa test

Starts with a set of user-specified trees

Gets the sitewise log-likelihoods

adjusts each trees’ log-likelihoods to add up to same value

then resamples columns (sites) from these

asks how often a tree will get more than X worse then the best

for each X (the log-likelihood difference between one tree and thebest one) can get a P value.

What about quantitative characters?

For neutral mutation and genetic drift, can show that for a quantitativecharacter with additive genetic variance VA and population size N thegenetic (additive) value of the population mean is:

Var(∆g) = VA/N

If mutation and drift are at equilibrium:

E[V

(t+1)A

]= V

(t)A

(1 −

2N

)+ VM


In neutral traits additive genetic variance rules

so thatE [VA] = 2NVM

wherebyVar[∆g] = (2NVM) /N = 2VM

an analogue of Kimura’s result for neutral mutation.There is a precise analogue of this for multiple characters.

Thus to transform characters to independent Brownian motions of equalevolutionary variance, we could use the additive genetic variance VA.


With selection ... life is harder

There is the quantitative genetics formula of Wright and Fisher (1920’s)

∆z = h2S

and Russ Lande’s (1976) recasting of that in terms of slopes of meanfitness surfaces:

S = VP

d log (w)

dx

∆z = (VA/VP) VP

d log (w)

dx= VA

d log (w)

If fitness as a function of phenotype is:

w(x) = exp

[−

Then the change of mean phenotype “chases” the optimum:

m′ − m =VA

Vs + VP

(p − m)


A character changing by “chasing” an adaptive peak

time

The course of change of the population mean is expected to be somewhatsmoother than the changes of the peak of the fitness surface.


Sources of evolutionary correlation among characters

Variation (and covariation) in change of characters occurs for two reasons:

1. Genetic drift, with the covariances being proportional to the additivegenetic covariances

2. Selection, with the covariances being affected by both the additivegenetic covariances and the covariation of the selection pressures.

These are Bergmann’s, Allen’s and Glogler’s Rules

not They are presumably the result of genetic correlationsbut result from patterns of selection

Correcting for correlations among characters

Can we transform the set of characters to remove their correlations andthus end up with independent Brownian motions of equal variance?

We might hope to infer additive genetic covariances by doingquantitive genetics breeding experiments to infer them fromcovariances among relatives.

There is little or no hope of inferring “selective correlations” without acomplete understanding of the functional ecology.

Fig. 1. The interspecific allometric equation (specific regression, identified as IA) and theindependent contrasts equation (identified as IC) plotted for 105 primate species in raw dataspace, transformed to natural logarithms. The interspecific allometric equation islny = 0.139 + 0.080(lnx), with r = 0.53. The phylogenetically corrected form of thisequation, taken from the independent contrasts analysis, is lny = 0.160 + 0.056(lnx), withr = 0.26. The two equations are not significantly different from each other. The identifiedspecies are Mandrillus sphinx (M), Pongo pygmaeus (O), Gorilla gorilla (G), Pan troglodytes(P), and Homo sapiens (H).

This can be set up as a 4 × 4 model of change with four states, 00, 01,10, and 11, and likelihood ratio tests used.

Complete independence of the changes in the two characters involvesrestricting the parameters so that α1 = α0, β1 = β0, γ1 = γ0, and δ1 = δ0.
