sampled ancestor skyline model

[Ondřej Mikula]

Hello,

I am interested in the sampled ancestor skyline model introduced by Gavryushkina et al. 2014. Is there any implementation available for common use? (For common use = not requiring high-level programming skills.)

Best regards,

Ondrej

Hi Ondrej,

Yes, FBD skyline model is implemented in BDSKY package for BEAST2. You will need to install BEAST2 and then install packages: SA and BDSKY. 

You can find tutorials on the BEAST2 page: 

http://beast2.org/tutorials/

There is no specific tutorial on FBD skyline model but these two should help:

Birth Death Skyline (Version 2.1.1)

Divergence dating with sampled ancestors (FBD model)

If you have more questions please feel free to contact me.

Cheers,

Sasha.

Hello Ondrej,

I am interested to find out if you were able to run the Sampled Ancestor Birth Death Skyline.

I am having severe difficulties and so far little support.

Do you have a data set that worked and an xml file? I would like to use it as a tutorial and see what I am doing wrong with my data.

Please let me know asap.

Cheers,

Helene
