We show that our technique is statistically consistent under standard stochastic assumptions, that is, it returns the correct tree given sufficiently many unlinked loci. We also show that it can tolerate moderate estimation errors.bioinformaticsestimation theorygeneticsstochastic processesestimation errorsincomplete lineage sortingmultiple gene treesmultiple lociphylogeny estimationstochastic assumptionsbiology and geneticsincomplete lineage sortingprobability and statisticscoalescent processphylogeneticspopulation geneticsstatistical consistencytopological concordancealgorithmsanimalschromosome mappingcomputer simulationevolutionhumanslinkagedisequilibriummodelsComputer SciencesGenetics and GenomicsPhysical Sciences and MathematicsStatistics and ProbabilityArticle
