SMS: Smart Model Selection in PhyML.
TL;DR: The software, “Smart Model Selection” (SMS), is implemented in the PhyML environment and available using two interfaces: command-line (to be integrated in pipelines) and a web server (http://www.atgc-montpellier.fr/phyml-sms/).

Abstract: Model selection using likelihood-based criteria (e.g., AIC) is one of the first steps in phylogenetic analysis. One must select both a substitution matrix and a model for rates across sites. A simple method is to test all combinations and select the best one. We describe heuristics to avoid these extensive calculations. Runtime is divided by $2 with results remaining nearly the same, and the method performs well compared with ProtTest and jModelTest2. Our software, "Smart Model Selection" (SMS), is implemented in the PhyML environment and available using two interfaces: command-line (to be integrated in pipelines) and a web server (http://www.atgc-montpellier.fr/phyml-sms/).

ModelTest-NG: a new and scalable tool for the selection of DNA and protein evolutionary models
Diego Darriba,David Posada,Alexey M. Kozlov,Alexandros Stamatakis,Alexandros Stamatakis,Benoit Morel,Tomas Flouri +6 more
TL;DR: ModelTest-NG is a reimplementation from scratch of jModelTest and ProtTest, two popular tools for selecting the best-fit nucleotide and amino acid substitution models, respectively, and introduces several new features, such as ascertainment bias correction, mixture, and free-rate models, or the automatic processing of single partitions.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that the patient was infected by SARS-CoV-2 on two separate occasions by a genetically distinct virus, suggesting that previous exposure to Sars-Cov-2 might not guarantee total immunity in all cases.

NGPhylogeny.fr: new generation phylogenetic services for non-specialists
Frédéric Lemoine,Damien Correia,Damien Correia,Damien Correia,Vincent Lefort,Olivia Doppelt-Azeroual,Fabien Mareuil,Sarah Cohen-Boulakia,Olivier Gascuel,Olivier Gascuel +9 more
TL;DR: NGPhylogeny.fr is developed to be more flexible in terms of tools and workflows, easily installable, and more scalable, and is managed and run by an underlying Galaxy workflow system, which makes workflows more scalable interms of number of jobs and size of data.

Sensitivity and specificity of information criteria.
TL;DR: In some cases the comparison of two models using ICs can be viewed as equivalent to a likelihood ratio test, with the different criteria representing different alpha levels and BIC being a more conservative test than AIC.

Estimating the Dimension of a Model
TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of selecting one of a number of models of different dimensions is treated by finding its Bayes solution, and evaluating the leading terms of its asymptotic expansion.

Information Theory and an Extention of the Maximum Likelihood Principle
H. Akaike
- 01 Jan 1973
TL;DR: The classical maximum likelihood principle can be considered to be a method of asymptotic realization of an optimum estimate with respect to a very general information theoretic criterion to provide answers to many practical problems of statistical model fitting.
