LewisMk in BEAST 2?

[Nick Matzke]

Hi all,

I have been playing with BEAST 2.0, and it seems to be
working well. However, there seems to be no comprehensive
XML reference like there is for BEAST 1.x.

So, I am wondering -- is there a LewisMk model or anything
equivalent in BEAST 2?

If this doesn't exist, how hard would it be to implement? I
see the instructions for making a module for a new
substitution model:

Should I explore that, or is someone already doing/has done
this?

Cheers!
Nick

Hi Nick, 

I just came across your question when wondering about the same thing and although you were asking years ago, I thought I'd share that the Lewis Mk model has been implemented (by Sasha Gavryushkina) in BEAST2 in the meantime, in the morph-models package:
