This was a question about the meaning of simulationTime attribute in the XML input required for MASTER.
What would be an appropriate time interval to use to generate trees and estimate parameters?
The units of time is up to the user to specify and to interpret. For example, simulationTime='10.0' could be in units of days, months, and years. This adds context to the parameter estimates. So beta=0.1 in a unit time of 10.0 is different than if the result was beta=0.1 in a unit time of 1000.0.
