Holmes, Susan Bootstrapping phylogenetic trees: theory and methods. (English) Zbl 1331.62244 Stat. Sci. 18, No. 2, 241-255 (2003). Summary: This is a survey of the use of the bootstrap in the area of systematic and evolutionary biology. I present the current usage by biologists of the bootstrap as a tool both for making inferences and for evaluating robustness, and propose a framework for thinking about these problems in terms of mathematical statistics.
