10.5.b Phylogenetic Tree
Phylogenetic trees are schematic representations of sample similarity. To compare the
similarity of samples in a phylogenetic tree format, select Phylogenetic Tree from the
Reports menu. (You can also select Phylogenetic Tree Quick Guide under the Help
menu to guide you through the process of generating a phylogenetic tree.)
In the pop-up box, select a clustering method for creating the tree. See the following
pages for information about the different methods.

Note: We have found that Ward’s method, UPGAMA, and WPGAMA give the most
plausible clusters and are affected the least by samples that are outliers.
