Table 3. Summary of clock model operators introduced throughout this article.
Operator | Description | Parameters |
---|---|---|
AdaptiveOperatorSampler | Samples sub-operators proportionally to their weights, which are learned (see Adaptive operator weighting). | |
SampleFromPrior | Resamples a random number of elements from their prior (see Adaptive operator weighting). | |
NarrowExchangeRate | Moves a branch and recomputes branch rates so that their genetic distances are constant (see Narrow exchange rate). | |
LeafAVMVN | Proposes new rates for all leaves in one move (see An adaptive leaf rate operator) [30]. |
Pre-existing clock model operators are summarised in Table 1. t denotes node heights while denotes the whole tree, including topology.
