Spatial Autocorrelations of HLA Frequencies in Europe Support Demic Diffusion of Early Farmers
Robert R. Sokal,Paolo Menozzi +1 more
TL;DR: Collective study of the 21 variable surfaces and of their correlograms supports a hypothesis of migration leading to the observed patterns with three alternative explanatory hypotheses being eliminated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accuracy of estimated phylogenies: effects of tree topology and evolutionary model.
TL;DR: The results suggest that the great majority of estimated phylogenetic trees are likely to be quite inaccurate; they underscore the inappropriateness of characterizing current phylogenetic methods as being for reconstruction rather than for estimation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Local Spatial Autocorrelation in a Biological Model
TL;DR: Sokal et al. as mentioned in this paper reviewed the recently developed local spatial autocorrelation statistics Zi, Ci, Gi, and G,? and found that hotspots (positive local autocorerelation) and coldspots (negative local autorecorrelation) are successfully distinguished in spatially autocalorrelated, biologically plausible data sets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Local spatial autocorrelation in biological variables
TL;DR: It is found that most biological variables exhibit global SA, and that in such cases the methods proposed for testing the significance of local SA coefficients reject the null hypothesis excessively, so permutational methods are preferred for testing significance.
