A maximum likelihood based method (the single rate dated tips (SRDT) model; Rambaut, 2000) , estimates ancestral divergence times and overall substitution rate on a fixed tree, assuming a strict molecular clock. While the generalized skyline plot is a good tool for data exploration, and to assist in model selection (e.g., Pybus et al., 2003; Lemey et al., 2004) , it infers demographic history based on a single input tree and therefore does not account for sampling error produced by phylogenetic reconstruction nor for the intrinsic stochasticity of the coalescent process. ./cache/cord-297530-7zbvgvk8.txt ./txt/cord-297530-7zbvgvk8.txt
