The Guessing Game!

Hello boys and girls,

Welcome back to "The Guessing Game!". Today's topic is, "Why is Suzanne so happy?"

As your first clue, take a look at the graph below.

As a second clue, look at the positions of RAq v. Neighbor Joining (NJ)

As a third, note that lower scores = awesomeness.

So, why is Suzanne so happy? Let's take a look and see:



It appears I may have beaten Neighbor Joining, and, at least for this data set, RAq does as well as the best method :-) I'm still waiting back for info from the 921 taxa set (the RAq starting tree has been running on it, and it still has another Batch and a half to go, overall 300 iterations). If RAq performs well on that data set too... well, I may have something very exciting to publish! :-)

Suzanne...is... happy!
