A MeSH tree rooted at “Respiration Disorder” and corresponding inferred disease trees. a The MeSH tree containing “Respiration Disorder” and its descendants. b The disease tree inferred by Parent Promotion on data from the tree in a). c The disease tree inferred by MWST from the same data. MWST builds a taller and slimmer tree. As a result, most diseases have more ancestors in c) than in a) or b). This leads MWST to have good performance with respect to Ancestor Recall (AR)
