Computing tree likelihoods

Open Marius1311 opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Hi Cassiopeia team, I was wondering whether there would be a place in the documentation where I can find more information about the computation of tree likelihoods in Cassiopeia? For example, whether to use the continuous or the discrete model. Is that described in any of your publications?

Basically, I would like to evaluate how good my reconstructed lineage trees are, and I thought this could be a good way to do so. I just tried naively, but both functions give me ParameterEstimateError: Neither heritable_missing_ratenorstochastic_missing_probabilitywere provided as arguments or found intree.parameters. Please provide one of these parameters, otherwise they are convolved and cannot be estimated

I'm not sure how I should estimate either of these parameters for my data. Any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance!
