Parsimony
1: a. The quality of being careful with money or
resources
b. The quality of being stingy
2: Economy in the use of means to an end;
especially: Economy of explanation in
conformity with Occam’s razor
Tree parsimony:
Given a (rooted or unrooted) binary tree with
sequences on the leaves, place sequences on the
internal nodes so that the total number of mutations
needed to explain the phylogeny is as small as
possible.
