GEIGER

GEIGER is an R tool to analyze, simulate, and estimate parameters for evolutionary radiations. The GEIGER algorithm includes functions for statistical hypothesis testing and analyzing the statistical power. Among others, the GEIGER package includes the following published methods: Time-scaling large phylogenies with 'congruification,' identifying shifts in the rate of diversification, identifying shifts in the rate of diversification, using fossil information to improve macroevolutionary inference, fitting discrete models of evolution, fit continuous trait models to unresolved data using ABC, identify shifts in the rate of continuous trait evolution, fit continuous models of evolution, and fit discrete models of evolution.
