MCMC Algorithms for the Coalescent

Flexible framework for coalescent analyses in R. It includes a main function running the MCMC algorithm, auxiliary functions for tree rearrangement, and some functions to compute population genetic parameters. Extended description can be found in Paradis (2020) . For details on the MCMC algorithm, see Kuhner et al. (1995) and Drummond et al. (2002) .
