Cladistics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cladistics (ancient Greek: , klados , "branch") is a form of biological systematics which classifies living organisms on the basis of shared ancestry. It can be distinguished from other taxonomic s...

Sophisticated cladistic analysis programs should also allow characters to be weighted by importance, so that (for example) when taxa share the same value for a character x, this can be considered twice as likely to imply that they are related as if they shared the less significant character y.
