Parsimony analysis of unaligned sequence data: some clarifications

Abstract: De Laet (2015) claimed that minimization of ad hoc hypotheses of homoplasy does not lead to a preference for trivial optimizations when analysing unaligned

“…Every case where the same feature is independently derived from an ancestor not having the feature, is a failure to explain the similarity in both groups as due to homology, regardless of applicability. That formulation of the problem makes it clear that maximization of explanatory power is equivalent to minimization of homoplasy also in the presence of inapplicables (see discussion in De Laet, 2015; contra Kluge and Grant, 2006;Wheeler, 2012;Ospina-Sarria and Cabra-Garc ıa, 2018). The general relationships between different proposals for inapplicables are summarized in Fig.…”
