Steiner tree problems occupy a central place in both areas of approximation and on-line algorithms. Many variants have been studied from the point of view of competitive analysis, and for several of these variants tight bounds are known. However, in several cases, worst-case analysis is overly pessimistic, which fails to explain the relative performance of algorithms. We show how adaptive analysis can help resolve this problem. As case studies, we consider the Steiner tree problem in directed graphs, and the Priority Steiner tree problem.
