Calibrated Birth–Death Phylogenetic Time-Tree Priors for Bayesian Inference
Here we introduce a general class of multiple calibration birth-death tree priors for use in Bayesian phylogenetic inference. All tree priors in this class separate ancestral node heights into a set of "calibrated nodes" and "uncalibrated nodes" such that the marginal distribution of the calibrated nodes is user-specified whereas the density ratio of the birth-death prior is retained for trees ...
متن کاملCalibrated Tree Priors for Relaxed Phylogenetics and Divergence Time Estimation
The use of fossil evidence to calibrate divergence time estimation has a long history. More recently, Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo has become the dominant method of divergence time estimation, and fossil evidence has been reinterpreted as the specification of prior distributions on the divergence times of calibration nodes. These so-called "soft calibrations" have become widely used but th...
متن کاملGuided tree topology proposals for Bayesian phylogenetic inference.
Increasingly, large data sets pose a challenge for computationally intensive phylogenetic methods such as Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). Here, we investigate the performance of common MCMC proposal distributions in terms of median and variance of run time to convergence on 11 data sets. We introduce two new Metropolized Gibbs Samplers for moving through "tree space." MCMC simulation ...
متن کاملApproximate inference for the loss-calibrated Bayesian
In this framework talk, we consider the impact of approximate inference in the context of Bayesian decision theory. We argue for the need to shift focus from the traditional approach of solely approximating the Bayesian posterior to developing loss-calibrated approximate Bayesian inference methods, in analogy to what is done in discriminative machine learning. We outline research questions whic...
متن کاملPriors in quantum Bayesian inference
In quantum Bayesian inference problems, any conclusions drawn from a finite number of measurements depend not only on the outcomes of the measurements but also on a prior. Here we show that, in general, the prior remains important even in the limit of an infinite number of measurements. We illustrate this point with several examples where two priors lead to very different conclusions given the ...
