CHANGES IN TESS VERSION 2.1.2 BUG FIXES o Fixed breaking change with new R-unstable CHANGES IN TESS VERSION 2.1.1 BUG FIXES o Fixed breaking change with new R-devel o ... CHANGES IN TESS VERSION 1.3.0 NEW FEATURES o Added the skyline birth-death model for piecewise constant rates o Added the skyline birth-death model for piecewise linear rates o Added a family level sampling birth-death model o Added a reversible jump MCMC to estimate number of rate changes o Added a reversible jump MCMC to estimate the number of mass-extinction events. o ... BUG FIXES o ... o ... CHANGES IN TESS VERSION 1.2.2 (not released) NEW FEATURES o Added a cut-off value for the maximum number of taxa simulated under simulations condition on the age of the tree. BUG FIXES o Corrected the likelihoods for diversified sampling. CHANGES IN TESS VERSION 1.2.1 BUG FIXES o Corrected the likelihoods for mass-extinctions. o Improved the likelihoods for large trees. CHANGES IN TESS VERSION 1.2.0 NEW FEATURES o Included diversified sampling. o Included age dependent sampling. CHANGES IN TESS VERSION 1.1.0 NEW FEATURES o MCMC algorithm is available for any model. o Posterior prediction is available for any model. o A posterior predictive simulation function. CHANGES IN TESS VERSION 1.0.3 BUG FIXES o globalBiDe.equations.pN had a missing constant factor. o sim.globalBiDe.taxa.age.constant includes the sampling probability correctly. OTHER CHANGES o globalBiDe.likelihood uses now fast approximations too. o sim.globalBiDe.taxa searches now for a reasonable range of the tmrca. CHANGES IN TESS VERSION 1.0.2 BUG FIXES o likelihood for constant rates had a bug for incomplete taxon sampling. CHANGES IN TESS VERSION 1.0.1 BUG FIXES o sim.globalBiDe.* had wrong ordering of speciation times.
