Phylogenetics and Evolutionary Biology Seminar
Seth Sullivant, NC State, Algebraic Statistical Models in Phylogenetics
SAS 4201Phylogenetics is the branch of mathematical biology concerned with constructing evolutionary relationships between collections of species. These lectures will introduce these models, in particular emphasizing the ways that algebraic statistics can be used to analyze properties of the models. Viewed from the perspective of algebraic statistics, the corresponding algebraic varieties that arise are often familiar…
