[note – the method proposed in this paper is wrong] It has been shown to give a biased estimate of theta. The paper by Felsenstein, Yamato, and Kuhner corrects this. That paper is available here in directory metro and the program to implement it is LAMARC

Please note carefully that these papers, as published in the journals, are copyright to the publishers of those journals.
Note that in each case these are the final versions as submitted to the journal (the last full manuscript version) but do not reflect changes that the editor or I may have made in proof. Published quotations of these manuscripts should be based on the published version; quotations before publication should be checked with me by e-mail.
In addition, many of my older papers are available on-line in the JSTOR system which makes older academic journals available. Your institution would need to have a subscription to JSTOR for it to be available to you. Links to these papers are available in my Curriculum Vitae which is at this link
It also has links to on-line copies of some of my papers at the sites of the journals that published them. These too may require subscriptions.
For earlier work, including earlier papers, I am making available materials including the computer programs that were used for the numerical examples. I am gradually putting more of these online.
This includes computer programs from those projects
