Maximum
Likelihood (ML)
Maximum Likelihood (ML). ML turns the phylogenetic problem inside out. ML searches for the evolutionary model, including the tree itself, that has the highest likelihood of producing the observed data.
ML 對系統發育問題進行了徹底搜查。ML 期望能夠搜尋出一種進化模型（包括對進化樹本身進行搜索），使得這個模型所能產生的資料與觀察到的資料最相似。
