Estimating the reliability of a treeReconstructed phylogenetic trees are almost certainly wrong. They are estimates of the true tree. But how reliable are they?
Reliability most of the time, ‘reliability’ refers to the topology, not to branch lengths.
reliability = probability that the members of a given clade are always members of that clade
Methods phylogeneticists use different methods to test the reliability of trees
• Bootstrapping• Jackknife• Permutation tests• Likelihood ratio tests (a)LRT
Bootstrapping bootstrapping uses random sampling with replacement to obtain properties of an estimator

Permutation methods Permutation tests are standard in non-parametric statistics. They reorder the data to obtain a null distribution.
