Note.—All methods employ the same foreground partition. FEEDS uses a site-wise fixed effects likelihood ratio test with distinct ω values estimated along FG and BG branches for each site, but admitting no stochastic branch-to-branch variation. MEDS and EDEPS are specifically designed with HIV-1 drug resistance in mind, powered to detect elevated substitution rates toward specific target residues at individual sites, using either a fixed effects codon approach (MEDS) or a site-wise random effects amino acid model (EDEPS). It is remarkable that introducing stochastic variation among branches (i.e., BUSTED) achieves similar power to explicitly directional methods on a genuinely directional system, even when directionality is not explicitly modeled.

aNot significant.

bNucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitor.

cMEDS identifies 98S, but only 98G is a resistance mutation.

dNonnucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitor.
