Table 3 Alignment Length Simulations. Results of the simulated datasets for alignments of 100, 500, and 1000 characters in length. Each entry is the number of times out of 100 replicates the correct model was selected by each measure (using the default NJ-JTT base tree).

From: Assessment of methods for amino acid matrix selection and their use on empirical data shows that ad hoc assumptions for choice of matrix are not justified
