BEAST v2.7.8 Documentation: beast.base.evolution.operator.kernel.BactrianNodeOperator

Proposes a move in state space.
This operator changes a beast.tree.
Randomly selects true internal tree node (i.e. not the root) and move node height uniformly in interval restricted by the nodes parent and children.

Inputs:

scaleFactor, optimise, kernelDistribution, tree, markclades, weight

 

scaleFactor
type: java.lang.Double
scaling factor: larger means more bold proposals
Optional input. Default: 0.1

 

optimise
type: java.lang.Boolean
flag to indicate that the scale factor is automatically changed in order to achieve a good acceptance rate (default true)
Optional input. Default: true

 

kernelDistribution
type: beast.base.inference.operator.kernel.KernelDistribution
provides sample distribution for proposals
Optional input

 

tree
type: beast.base.evolution.tree.Tree
beast.tree on which this operation is performed
Required input

 

markclades
type: java.lang.Boolean
Mark all ancestors of nodes changed by the operator as changed, up to the MRCA of all nodes changed by the operator.
Optional input. Default: false

 

weight
type: java.lang.Double
weight with which this operator is selected
Required input
