We also provide additional discussion and background of the onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... step matrix approach to #inapplicables that is used in our recent onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... paper on #phylogenetic methods to incorporate different types of character dependence.
A reconsideration of inapplicable characters, and an approximation with step‐matrix recoding
Evidence for phylogenetic analysis comes in the form of observed similarities, and trees are selected to minimize the number of similarities that cannot be accounted for by homology (homoplasies). Th...

We show how and why Wheeler's proposal can lead to artefacts such optimal trees where every every terminal has a head but all inner nodes are reconstructed as headless.

In onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... we examine Wheeler's proposal starting from the premise that #parsimony analysis aims at finding the trees that maximize secondary #homology.
Nothing to it: a reply to Wheeler's “much ado about nothing”
Wheeler (Cladistics 2023, 39, 475) recently suggested that the issues with inapplicable characters in phylogenetic analysis can be dealt with directly by treating observed absences of a feature not i...
