Abstract

In phylogeny, one tries to approximate a given dissimilarity by a tree distance. In some cases, especially when comparing biological sequences, some dissimilarity values cannot be evaluated and a partial dissimilarity with undefined values is only available. In that case one can develop a sequential method to reconstruct a weighted tree or to evaluate the missing values using a tree model. In this paper we study the latter approach and measure the quality of the estimated values using simulated noisy tree distances.
