The rapid accumulation of genome sequence data has made phylogenetics an indispensable tool to various branches of biology. However, it has also posed considerable statistical and computational ...

We modified the phylogenetic program MrBayes 3.1.2 to incorporate the compound Dirichlet priors for branch lengths proposed recently by Rannala, Zhu, and Yang (2012. Tail paradox, partial ...

The Engine for Likelihood-Free Inference is open to everyone, and it can help significantly reduce the number of simulator runs. The Engine for Likelihood-Free Inference is open to everyone, and it ...

Bayesian estimation and maximum likelihood methods represent two central paradigms in modern statistical inference. Bayesian estimation incorporates prior beliefs through Bayes’ theorem, updating ...

If the reported data of an experiment have been subject to selection, then inference from such data should be modified accordingly. We investigate the modification required to the face-value ...

Background Bayesian networks (BN) are directed acyclic graphs derived from empirical data that describe the dependency and probability structure. It may facilitate understanding of complex ...
