McmcDate

McmcDate can date a phylogenetic tree with constraints. That is, it can estimate the ages of the ancestral nodes of a phylogenetic tree with node age calibrations, node order constraints, and node braces. McmcDate is fast because it approximates the phylogenetic likelihood with a multivariate normal distribution.

For documentation, please see the McmcDate tutorial.
For comparison with MCMCtree, please see the MCMCtree vs McmcDate benchmark.
