SYMPOSIUM / WORKSHOP on
Bayesian inference of phylogeny
Talks: Monday & Tuesday, August 15-16
Workshop: Wednesday to Friday, August 17-19
Where: UC Berkeley campus
(talks will be held in 155 Dwinelle Hall and the workshop will be held in 4110 VLSB)
There will be a mini-symposium on Bayesian inference of phylogeny to be held on the UC Berkeley campus from August 15th to 19th. There will be two days of talks (August 15th and 16th) on various aspects of Bayesian inference as it applies to the phylogeny problem. The following three days will be a workshop for people interested in developing for the RevBayes program. RevBayes implements an R-like language for specifying complex evolutionary models and (attempts) to perform solid statistical estimation of a model's parameters.
