Population divergence time estimation using individual lineage label switching
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2022 Divergence time estimation from multilocus genetic data has become common in population genetics and phylogenetics. We present a new Bayesian inference method that treats the divergence time as a random variable. The divergence time is calculated from an

Stepwise Bayesian Phylogenetic Inference [PDF]
, 2020 AbstractThe ideal approach to Bayesian phylogenetic inference is to estimate all parameters of interest jointly in a single hierarchical model. However, this is often not feasible in practice due to the high computational cost that would be incurred. Instead, phylogenetic pipelines generally consist of chained analyses, whereby a single point estimate ...

Particle Gibbs sampling for Bayesian phylogenetic inference [PDF]
Bioinformatics, 2020 Abstract Motivation The combinatorial sequential Monte Carlo (CSMC) has been demonstrated to be an efficient complementary method to the standard Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) for Bayesian phylogenetic tree inference using biological sequences.

Evaluating probabilistic programming and fast variational Bayesian inference in phylogenetics [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Recent advances in statistical machine learning techniques have led to the creation of probabilistic programming frameworks. These frameworks enable probabilistic models to be rapidly prototyped and fit to data using scalable approximation methods such ...

Bayesian phylogenetic estimation of fossil ages [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2016 Recent advances have allowed for both morphological fossil evidence and molecular sequences to be integrated into a single combined inference of divergence dates under the rule of Bayesian probability. In particular, the fossilized birth–death tree prior and the Lewis-Mk model of discrete morphological evolution allow for the estimation of both ...

Implementing and testing Bayesian and maximum-likelihood supertree methods in phylogenetics [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2015 Since their advent, supertrees have been increasingly used in large-scale evolutionary studies requiring a phylogenetic framework and substantial efforts have been devoted to developing a wide variety of supertree methods (SMs).

Practice-oriented controversies and borrowed epistemic credibility in current evolutionary biology: phylogeography as a case study [PDF]
, 2013 Although there is increasing recognition that theory and practice in science are intimately intertwined, philosophy of science perspectives on scientific controversies have been historically focused on theory rather than practice.

Make the most of your samples : Bayes factor estimators for high-dimensional models of sequence evolution [PDF]
, 2013 Background: Accurate model comparison requires extensive computation times, especially for parameter-rich models of sequence evolution. In the Bayesian framework, model selection is typically performed through the evaluation of a Bayes factor, the ratio ...

Coming to America: Multiple Origins of New World Geckos [PDF]
, 2011 Geckos in the Western Hemisphere provide an excellent model to study faunal assembly at a continental scale. We generated a time-calibrated phylogeny, including exemplars of all New World gecko genera, to produce a biogeographic scenario for the New ...
