Bayesian phylogenetic inference via Monte Carlo methods

A main task in evolutionary biology is phylogenetic tree reconstruction, which determines the ancestral relationships among di erent species based on observed molecular sequences, e.g. DNA data. When a stochastic model, typically continuous time Markov chain (CTMC), is used to describe the evolut...
