Branch-site models<br />

Allow ω vary among branches. Likelihood ratio test (LRT)<br />

• LRT based on χ 2 can be powerful<br />

2Δl = 2 (l 1-l 2) χ 2 distribution<br />

Alternative model (estimated ω 2>1)<br />

Null model (fixed ω 2=1)<br />

• Power is affected by (i) sequence divergence, (ii) number of lineages, and (iii) strength of positive selection<br />

• The most efficient way to increase power is to add lineages<br />
