Effect of conjugate prior on Kingman coalescent estimation. We examine the relative impact on estimate precision of a conjugate Kingman prior that contributes 
virtual observations. We work in 
for convenience. We compare this prior to posteriors, which are obtained under observed trees with 
(red) and 
(yellow) coalescent events. The true value is in black. The prior contribution decays as 
increases towards 1.
