The project focus on the study, implementation, comparison and analysis of different statistical inference techniques for phylogenetic trees.

The aim of this project is to create a taxonomy of malicious software (aka malware), because new malwares are often related to the older ones, creating something like an evolutionary relationship between them.

The framework used is '''[http://www.r-project.org/ R]''', a software environment for statistical computing which already provide a set of classes implementhing those phylogenetic inference models and methods, good enough to start.

We already have got a very large amount of data about classified malwares (collected by a team of PoliMi researchers), so we just have to test how standard phylogenetic methods react to such a enormous group of data.
