Figure 10

Substitution simulation and maximum parsimony reconstruction accuracy. The accuracy of maximum parsimony is plotted as a function of external branch length. The Avida data sets are generated using the overlapping reward structure with the default uniform, F and L character substitution processes. For each Avida data set, a control data set is generated using computer simulation techniques. Finally, for each Avida data set, a second control data set is generated using the substitution simulation technique. In all data sets, the internal branch length is 60, and there were 100 replicate experiments.
