A hierarchical clock-mixture model for Bayesian phylogenetic dating

Yuan Xu, Jordan Douglas, Remco Bouckaert, Alexei J. Drummond

This paper introduces a hierarchical clock-mixture model for Bayesian phylogenetic dating to better handle uncertainty in clock choice and improve timescale estimation.

Bayesian model-averaging of parametric coalescent models for phylodynamic inference

Yuan Xu, Kylie Chen, Dong Xie, Alexei J. Drummond

This paper introduces a Bayesian Model Averaging framework for phylodynamic inference that integrates multiple coalescent models to better capture demographic histories without pre-specifying a single model.
