A Multitype Birth–Death Model for Bayesian Inference of Lineage-Specific Birth and Death Rates

Abstract Heterogeneous populations can lead to important differences in birth and death rates across a phylogeny. Taking this heterogeneity into account is necessary to obtain accurate estimates of the underlying population dynamics. We present a new multitype birth–death model (MTBD) that can estim...
