Correlation between the number of lineages with double substitutions and the likelihood difference between Coev model and independent model for amino acid and nucleotide sequences. The X axis reflects the number of lineages with double substitutions. In both plots the same tree is used and it is composed of 100 leaves. The likelihood difference increases as X increases. The likelihood difference represented by ΔAIC shows that the Coev model is preferred to the independent model for amino acid and nucleotide sequences especially when X is big. (1.) The combinations used for nucleotide experiment are Adenine-Adenine (AA) and Thymine-Thymine (TT). (2.) The combinations used for the amino acid experiment are Alanine-Alanine (AA) and Threonine-Threonine (TT)
