- 1 June 1996
For analysis of large matrices, parsimony jackknifing is hundreds of thousands of times faster than extensive branch‐swapping, yet is better able to screen out poorly‐supported groups.
Angiosperm phylogeny inferred from 18S rDNA, rbcL, and atpB sequences
A phylogenetic analysis of a combined data set for 560 angiosperms and seven outgroups based on three genes, 18S rDNA, rbcL, and atpB representing a total of 4733 bp is presented, resulting in the most highly resolved and strongly supported topology yet obtained for angiosPerms.
Improvements to resampling measures of group support

Several aspects of current resampling methods to assess group support are reviewed. When the characters have different prior weights or some state transformation costs are different, the frequencies…
A Successive Approximations Approach to Character Weighting
- J. Farris
- Biology
- 1 December 1969
Results indicate that the successive weighting procedure can be highly successful, even when cladistically reliable characters are heavily outnumbered by unreliable ones, and computer simulation tests of the technique are described.
Methods for Computing Wagner Trees
- J. Farris
- Biology
- 1 March 1970
The concept of a Wagner Network is formalized and a number of algorithms for calculating such networks are discussed and the rationale for the methods described is discussed.
