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). R,σ,tT
SampleFromPrior Resamples a random number of elements from their prior (see Adaptive operator weighting). R,σ
NarrowExchangeRate Moves a branch and recomputes branch rates so that their genetic distances are constant (see Narrow exchange rate). R,T
LeafAVMVN Proposes new rates for all leaves in one move (see An adaptive leaf rate operator) [30]. R

Pre-existing clock model operators are summarised in Table 1. t denotes node heights while T denotes the whole tree, including topology.
