On what basis can i say that one is better than the other. In particular, they are used during the calculation of likelihood of a tree in bayesian and. Since statistical inferences cannot be drawn in the absence of probabilities, the use of a model of nucleotide substitution or amino acid replacement a model of evolution.

This amounts to telling mrbayes that we will be using a twoparameter model a model that distinguishes between transitions and transversions and that we want gammadistributed rate heterogeneity with 4 categories. For paup there are three possible options for the basefreq parameter. For example, in cladistics, each position in the sequence might correspond to a property of a species which can either be present or absent.
