Geiger

Major features

geiger is a (growing) collection of methods developed over the years by many researchers. Here is a a non-comprehensive list of methods:

• Fit continuous models of evolution (BM, OU, EB, Pagel models, etc.)
• Fit discrete models of evolution (Mk and variants)
• Identify shifts in the rate of continuous trait evolution(doi:10.1111/j.1558-5646.2011.01401.x)
• Fit continuous trait models to unresolved data using ABC(doi:10.1111/j.1558-5646.2011.01474.x)
• Use fossil information to improve macroevolutionary inference(doi:10.1111/j.1558-5646.2012.01723.x)
• Identify shifts in the rate of diversification(doi:10.1073/pnas.0811087106)
• Posterior predictive model assessment(doi:10.1093/sysbio/syt066)
• Time-scaling large phylogenies with ‘congruification’(doi:10.1111/2041-210X.12051)
