Evaluation of Marginal Log-Likelihood Estimation performance on the DS2 29 Taxa, 2520 Sites dataset.

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Marginal Log-Likelihood Estimation |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | DS2 29 Taxa, 2520 Sites |
| Metric | MLL |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 30 of 30 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [MLL](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/marginal-log-likelihood-estimation-on-ds2-29-taxa-2520-sites.md?metric=MLL>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.
