Equiprobable discrete models of site-specific substitution rates underestimate the extent of rate variability

PLOS ONE, 15(3).

By: F. Mannino n, S. Wisotsky n, S. Pond* & S. Muse n

MeSH headings : Algorithms; Amino Acid Substitution; Evolution, Molecular; Likelihood Functions; Models, Genetic; Mutation Rate; Phylogeny; Sequence Alignment; Sequence Analysis, DNA / methods
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the variance of this discretized distribution has an upper bound determined solely by the choice of K and the mean of the distribution, which can introduce biases into statistical inference when estimating parameters governing site-to-site variability of substitution rates.
