Example sentences for: mrbayes

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

  • For the genome quartet #8 we calculated posterior probabilities under the model which takes ASRV into account with Strimmer and von Haeseler's [ 24 ] approach and with the MrBayes program version 2.01 [ 31 ] . TREE-PUZZLE 5.0 [ 56 ] was used to calculate posterior probabilities according to Strimmer and von Haeseler [ 24 ] . A discrete approximation of the gamma distribution [ 57 ] was used to describe ASRV.

  • Prior distributions for all parameters were the default distributions incorporated in the MrBayes software.

  • The same high support for this unexpected grouping is also recovered in bootstrap analysis and in posterior probabilities calculated with MrBayes [ 31 ] .

  • Comparing figure 4Bwith 4Ait is clear that in this case the Bayesian posterior probabilities estimated with MrBayes are more conservative assessments of reliability than the ones calculated according to [ 24 ] . The 99% support level calculated according to [ 24 ] approximately corresponds to the 90% support level calculated with MrBayes.

  • Because bootstrap analysis using ML is not computationally feasible for large data sets [ 85 ] , we conducted a Bayesian analysis as an alternative employing optimization parameters similar to the nucleotide substitution model that we used for ML [ 86 87 ] . The distinction between ML and Bayesian inference is that Bayesian provides probabilities for hypotheses, not probabilities of data given a hypothesis [ 85 87 88 ] . Bayesian analysis uses Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods to approximate posterior probability distributions that are a direct estimation of branch support because they are the true probabilities of the resulting clades under the assumed models, unlike bootstrap values [ 87 88 ] . Additionally, bootstrap values and posterior probabilities derived from Bayesian analyses for multiple data sets appear to be correlated [ 88 ] . The Bayesian analysis was conducted with the software MrBayes 2.0 [ 89 ] . A GTR substitution model with 6 rate frequencies was selected as the most similar model to the Trn+G substitution model (the latter model is not available in MrBayes).
