Models for Bayesian analyses

All Bayesian analyses were performed within BEAST 2.  The BD model is available as the birth-death serial skyline model within the BEAST 2 add-on external page bdsky.  The BDSIR model is available within the BEAST 2 add-on external page phylodynamics.  The other models used for Bayesian analyses (BDsa, BDEI and coalSEIR) will become available within the BEAST 2 add-on phylodynamics shortly. Please contact us if you want to use them right away!

Models for maximum likelihood analyses

All of the models we used for maximum-likelihood analyses (BD, BDEI, BDss) are available within the latest versions of our R-packages external page TreeSim and external page TreePar. Scripts for running the maximum likelihood analyses are available on external page github.com/cevo-public.
