BEAST v2.6.7 Documentation: beast.evolution.tree.coalescent.Coalescent

BEASTObject that performs calculations based on the State.
Probabilistic representation that can produce a log probability for instance for running an MCMC chain.
Distribution on a tree, typically a prior such as Coalescent or Yule
Calculates the probability of a beast.tree conditional on a population size function. Note that this does not take the number of possible tree interval/tree topology combinations in account, in other words, the constant required for making this a proper distribution that integrates to unity is not calculated (partly, because we don't know how for sequentially sampled data).

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