andes

A dataset containing point estimates and uncertainty intervals of
divergence times for clade pairs east and west of the Andes,
compiled by Ballen (2020).

datasets

Functions are provided for prior specification in divergence time
estimation using fossils as well as other kinds of data. It
provides tools for interacting with the input and output of Bayesian
platforms in evolutionary biology such as 'BEAST2', 'MrBayes', 'RevBayes',
or 'MCMCTree'.
It Implements a simple measure similarity between probability
density functions for comparing prior and
posterior Bayesian densities, as well as code for calculating the
combination of distributions using conflation of Hill (2008). Functions for estimating the
origination time in collections of distributions using the x-intercept (e.g., Draper and Smith, 1998) and
stratigraphic intervals (Marshall 2010) are also available.
