TN93 model (Tamura-Nei, 93)

The TN93 model has four frequencies parameters. It accounts for the difference between transitions and transversions and differentiates the two kinds of transitions (purine $\leftrightarrow$purine & pyrimidine $\leftrightarrow$pyrimidine). $\alpha_{AG} = \alpha_{GA} = 1.0, \quad \alpha_{transversion} = \alpha_1, \quad \alpha_{CT} = \alpha_{TC} = \alpha_2$
