Missing data in a stochastic Dollo model for cognate data, and its application to the dating of Proto-Indo-European (2009)

Ryder, Robin J., Nicholls, Geoff K.

Nicholls and Gray (2008) describe a phylogenetic model for trait data. They use their model to estimate branching times on Indo-European language trees from lexical data. Alekseyenko et al. (2008)...

Estimating mutation parameters, population history and genealogy simultaneously from temporally spaced sequence data

Dated ancestral trees from binary trait data and its application to the diversification of languages (2007)

Nicholls, Geoff K., Gray, Russell D.

Binary trait data record the presence or absence of distinguishing traits in individuals. We treat the problem of estimating ancestral trees with time depth from binary trait data. Simple analysis of...

Genealogies from Time-Stamped Sequence Data (2003)

Alexei Drummond, Geoff K. Nicholls, Allen G. Rodrigo, Wiremu Solomon

this paper we review recently published statistical methodology for genetic dating. Our explicit treatment of the uncertainty arising from imprecisely dated sequences, Section 6, is new, as is our...

Perfect Simulation for Sample-Based Inference (1999)

Jesper Møller, Geoff K. Nicholls

: Perfect simulation algorithms based on Propp and Wilson (1996) have so far been of limited use for sampling problems of interest in statistics. We specify a new family of perfect sampling...

Estimating mutation parameters, population history and genealogy simultaneously from temporally spaced sequence data.

Drummond, Alexei J, Nicholls, Geoff K, Rodrigo, Allen G, Solomon, Wiremu

Molecular sequences obtained at different sampling times from populations of rapidly evolving pathogens and from ancient subfossil and fossil sources are increasingly available with modern sequencing...
