BEASTObject that performs calculations based on the State.
Probabilistic representation that can produce a log probability for instance for running an MCMC chain.
Prior over set of taxa, useful for defining monophyletic constraints and distributions over MRCA times or (sets of) tips of trees
Logable: yes, this can be used in a log.

| type: beast.evolution.tree.Tree |
| the tree containing the taxon set |
| Required input |
| type: beast.evolution.alignment.TaxonSet |
| set of taxa for which prior information is available |
| Optional input |
| type: java.lang.Boolean |
| whether the taxon set is monophyletic (forms a clade without other taxa) or nor. Default is false. |
| Optional input. Default: false |
| type: beast.math.distributions.ParametricDistribution |
| distribution used to calculate prior over MRCA time, e.g. normal, beta, gamma. If not specified, monophyletic must be true |
| Optional input |
| type: java.lang.Boolean |
| flag to indicate tip dates are to be used instead of the MRCA node. If set to true, the prior is applied to the height of all tips in the taxonset and the monophyletic flag is ignored. Default is false. |
| Optional input. Default: false |
| type: java.lang.Boolean |
| Use parent of clade instead of clade. Cannot be used with tipsonly, or on the root. |
| Optional input. Default: false |
