BEAST v2.7.8 Documentation: beastlabs.evolution.tree.MonophyleticConstraint

BEASTObject that performs calculations based on the State.
Probabilistic representation that can produce a log probability for instance for running an MCMC chain.
Enforces groups of taxa to be monophyletic -- have a common mrca that no other taxa have. This can be used as part of the prior. Multiple monophyletic constraints can be handled by adding one set per constraing.

Logable: yes, this can be used in a log.
