Abstract

This paper describes algorithms for optimizing two- or three-dimensional landmark data onto trees directly. The method is based on a first approximation using grids, and subsequent iterative refinement of the initial point estimates. Details of the implementation are discussed, as well as an empirical example. © The Willi Hennig Society 2010.
