MrModeltest

For performing hierarchical likelihood ratio tests and calculating approximate AIC and/or very approximate AICc values of the nucleotide substitution models currently implemented in both PAUP4 and MrBayes v3. MrModeltest was developed to be a modified version of Modeltest 3.6. "Modified version" means that it was rewritten to compare 24 instead of 56 models of nucleotide substitution (basically a Modeltest version 1.0). On the other hand, all of the 24 models can be implemented in MrBayes version 3. Furthermore, MrModeltest uses (by Default) four different hierarchies for the likelihood ratio tests. MrModeltest2 does not have a graphical user interface. Therefore, UNIX/Win/MacOSX users need to open a terminal ("Console","DOS window") and type: mrmodeltest2 out The results are written in the `out` file. Note: If mrmodeltest2 is not in your PATH, you can try to run the program by first cd in to the same directory where the binary and the mrmodel.scores are located and then type:
