TESS

TESS is an R tool to estimate diversification rates and simulate reconstructed phylogenetic trees using tree-wide time-heterogeneous birth/death processes that include mass extinction events. The TESS algorithm includes functions for Maximum Likelihood (ML) estimation and Bayesian inference of rates for lineage diversification.
