Effect of Polytomy on the Parameter Estimation and Goodness of Fit of Phylogenetic Linear Regression Models for Trait Evolution

Phylogenetic regression models for trait evolution incorporate phylogenetic trees for the analysis of comparative data, in order to study trait relationships among a group of related species. However, as such trees are estimated, it is unlikely that there will be no errors when describing the relati...
