Criteria ? :

• Likelihood

Questions ? addressed by the method:

• Reconstruct state at all internal nodes (Reconstruct the optimal state, perhaps with uncertainty, of a particular character at all internal nodes on the tree (note that for likelihood, this category includes methods creating marginal and/or joint estimates)). Topic area: Reconstruct ancestor(s)
• Reconstruct state at one node (Reconstruct the optimal state, perhaps with uncertainty, of a particular character at one node (such as the root node)). Topic area: Reconstruct ancestor(s)

Character combinations ? addressed by the method:

• DNA strict-None-None
• RNA strict-None-None
• AA strict-None-None
• Binary-None-None
• Multistate unordered-None-None

Software ? implementing the method:
