Continuous characters analyzed as such
@article{Goloboff2006ContinuousCA, title={Continuous characters analyzed as such}, author={P. Goloboff and C. Mattoni and A. Quinteros}, journal={Cladistics}, year={2006}, volume={22} }
Quantitative and continuous characters have rarely been included in cladistic analyses of morphological data; when included, they have always been discretized, using a variety of ad hoc methods. As continuous characters are typically additive, they can be optimized with well known algorithms, so that with a proper implementation they could be easily analyzed without discretization. The program TNT has recently incorporated algorithms for analysis of continuous characters. One of the problems… CONTINUE READING
