MG94K — The Muse & Gaut (1994) model of codon substitution.

Usage

MG94K(kappa: Double, omega: Double, pi: Map<String,Double>, a: Codons<n>) → CTMC<Codons<n>>

Arguments

Underlined names in default expressions refer to other arguments. A default beginning with ~ specifies a prior distribution.

kappa:

Transition/transversion ratio

Default: ~LogNormal(log(2),0.25)

omega:

Relative rate of non-synonymous changes relative to synonymous changes

Default: ~LogNormal(0,1)

pi:

Nucleotide frequencies

Default: ~SymmetricDirichletOn(letters(getNucleotides(a)), 1.0)

a:

The alphabet

Default: The alphabet in the current context

Original default expressions
pi
~SymmetricDirichletOn(letters(getNucleotides(@a)), 1.0)
a
get_state(alphabet)

Description

The MG94K model extends the MG94 model to account for different rates of transitions and transversions.

The MG94K model is equivalent to the following models:

HKY85 +> x3 +> dNdS

MG94_ext[HKY85]
