As described previously, the decision tree method used the full 81-covariate set rather than the 67-covariate subset used in the Modk method.
The maximum parsimony tree method used in the phylogenetic study is of another extreme, which shows the minimum number of recurrent mutations needed to produce the pattern if there is no recombination.

These included the character-based maximum-likelihood (with/without a molecular clock) and maximum parsimony, as well as distance-based analysis (Fitch-Margoliash tree method using the Kimura distance model of nucleotide substitution).
For comparison, five AROCs were derived based on: (1) macular retinal nerve fibre layer (m-RNFL) alone; (2) circumpapillary (cp-RNFL) alone; (3) ganglion cell layer and inner plexiform layer (GCL+IPL) alone; (4) rim area alone and (5) a decision tree method using the same variables as the Random Forest algorithm.
These placements of substitutions in the inferred trees may also be at least partly a product of the guide tree methods used, so should be viewed as a complementary explanation for high levels of erroneous non-LBA tree rejection.
Another possible interpretation could be statistical error due to a violation of the coalescent model used by the species tree methods used here, such as gene flow across different species.
All tree methods used gave the same, well-supported result, namely that all dystrophins (including those from the nematode and the schistosome) cluster together, as do all dystrobrevins, to the exclusion of the dystrotelin clade.
Gene tree-species tree methods use information for each individual locus to estimate the species tree; therefore, it is important to minimize the amount of missing data in the dataset.
After using a novel method to account for paralogous loci, we estimated phylogenies with maximum likelihood and species tree methods using DNA sequence alignments of over 80,000 base pairs.
This is partly due to the reduced sensitivity of MMM to artifacts stemming from the assembly of protein families which can strongly affect the Pearson correlation score [ 14] that mirror tree methods use to correlate two distance matrices.
However, the different treeing methods used to generate both the SSU rRNA gene phylogeny and the gyrB gene phylogeny (Maximum Liklihood, Neighbor Joining, Parsimony) indicate that L. ochracea is related equi-distant from known Leptothrix and Sphaerotilus species.
