Example sentences for: maximum-likelihood

How can you use “maximum-likelihood” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

The neighbor-joining (Figure 3a) and maximum-likelihood trees we constructed, in combination with the fact that mammalian KCNQ1 and Anopheles KCNQ2 gene products share a striking 75% identity (despite the divergence of protostomes and deuterostomes close to 700 million years ago), suggest that gene loss in Drosophila , specifically loss of an ancestral KCNQ2 (mammalian KCNQ1 ), is the cause of this difference, rather than gene expansion in Anopheles , which may be the case for the Kv3 and Irk3 (Figure 3b) gene families.
Additionally, the maximum-likelihood haplotypes for each pedigree (generated by GENEHUNTER PLUS [ S4], a modified version of GENE-HUNTER [ S5]) were examined to identify multiple recombinants.
A greater number of genes within a given family in Anopheles compared to Drosophila can be a result of gene expansion in Anopheles or, alternatively, gene loss in Drosophila . I considered the likelihood of either possibility for these cases, based on the trees that were constructed using neighbor-joining, parsimony, and maximum-likelihood algorithms.
Phylogenetic trees were constructed using neighbor-joining, least-squares and maximum-likelihood methods [ 44, 45].
Phylogenetic analysis was carried out using the maximum-likelihood, neighbor-joining and least squares methods [ 44, 45].
