Bayesian Selection of Relaxed-clock Models:Distinguishing Between Independent and Autocorrelated Rates

M. Panchaksaram, L. Freitas, M. dos Reis

This study evaluates Bayesian rate model selection in molecular-clock dating, showing convergence to correct models with more data and robustness to minor calibration errors, while introducing an approximation to improve computational efficiency.
