Model selection for mixture models
Abstract: Phylogenetic data arising on different tree topologies might be mixed
on a given alignment. Models taking it into account
usually contain a large number of parameters and require tools beyond
the standard model fitting framework. Here we
discuss an approach for model selection of algebraic models on m-tree
mixtures.
