Geography-constrained family trees? | Freelance reconstruction
https://protouralic.wordpress.com/2015/05/22/geography-constrained-family-trees
Thinking out loud on historical linguistics. A complaint that often comes up in introductions to studies on computational phylogenetics is that the number of possible binary trees grows quite fast (loosely factorialesquely) as a function of the number of entities we are attempting to relate. This means that regardless of what method is being used, it is for larger datasets usually not possible to investigate all possible trees on how well they would fit the data. If given a western dialect A, a central d...
