Table 4 Gamma Distribution Simulations. Results of simulations when the α parameter of the gamma distribution was varied between 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0. The sequence length was kept constant at 500 characters and the proportion of invariable sites was 0.2. Each entry is the number of times out of 100 replicates that the correct model was selected.

From: Assessment of methods for amino acid matrix selection and their use on empirical data shows that ad hoc assumptions for choice of matrix are not justified
