Tuesday: Parrotfish results, MCMCMC testing, APIs

  • Finished review for TE

  • Shared post on TreeBASE API

  • Reviewed Scott’s updates to dryad R API, adjusted formatting.

  • Looking at documentation for the OAI-MPH queries, don’t seem to be as rich as Phylo-ws queries.  This is why treeBASE metadata searches tend to download the full metadata set into R and query that.  Looks like we’ll need to take a similar approach to Dryad, as it doesn’t seem like there’s a way to query the API by author name at all?

  • run of Parrotfish example with intensive simulated annealing.

  • Working on MCMCMC implementation and testing, see (Altekar et. al. 2004)
