-loglik 0.0 doubts

[AT]

Dear Solís-Lemus and Ané,

I have used SNaQ several times for my studies, and everything works great. However, I have noticed that sometimes I get a -loglik value of 0.0, and I would like to understand why this is happening and if it indicates that I am doing something wrong (Although the log files don't show any warnings or errors).

Thank you.

Best regards,

Alicia

A score of 0 means that your network (with branch lengths and inheritance γ's) fits your data perfectly. This is more likely to happen with small networks (few taxa). More on what the score means is on the documentation: http://crsl4.github.io/PhyloNetworks.jl/latest/man/fixednetworkoptim/#Optimizing-parameters-for-a-given-network

I really appreciate your answer!

I read this paragraph, but I was surprised by this sudden parameter change. (Please see attached.)

Thank you!
