ReMASTER: improved phylodynamic simulation for BEAST 2.7.

ABSTRACT:

Summary

Phylodynamic models link phylogenetic trees to biologically-relevant parameters such as speciation and extinction rates (macroevolution), effective population sizes and migration rates (ecology and phylogeography), and transmission and removal/recovery rates (epidemiology) to name a few. Being able to simulate phylogenetic trees and population dynamics under these models is the basis for (i) developing and testing of phylodynamic inference algorithms, (ii) performing simulation studies which quantify the biases stemming from model-misspecification, and (iii) performing so-called model adequacy assessments by simulating samples from the posterior predictive distribution. Here I introduce ReMASTER, a package for the phylogenetic inference platform BEAST 2 that provides a simp
