Assists performing tip-dating of phylogenetic trees with BEAST
BEAST is a popular software for phylogenetic analysis.
The package assists the implementation of various phylogenetic tip-
dating tests using BEAST. It contains two main functions.
The first one allows preparing date randomization analyses,
which assess the temporal signal of a data set.
The second function allows performing leave-one-out analyses,
which test for the consistency between independent calibration sequences
and allow pinpointing those leading to potential bias.
The included tutorial provides detailed step-by-step instructions.
An expanded description of the package can be found in article:
