Title
Approximate Likelihood Estimation of Divergence Time Range Using a Coalescent-based Model
Abstract
We present an estimation of divergence time-range based on a coalescent model. This model sum the probability of coalescent trees, taking into account the effect of incomplete lineage sorting. Maximum likelihood estimate based on this model has been computed previously; however, a formula for divergence time-range estimate or confidence interval has never been presented for this model as the expression of the likelihood makes this estimation difficult to compute. Our formula for the divergence time-range estimate can be readily coded into a program. We did not use a simulation or resampling-based approach and therefore our method is fast and less computationally intensive. We demonstrate that our method is much faster and as accurate as a simulation-based approach.

Interview with Professor Jamie DaviesMy experience with Libertas Academica publications has indicated that Libertas Academica has not only implemented a highly efficient reviewer system, which provides candid and valuable comments on manuscripts, but also assembled a dedicated editorial production team, which is constantly striving for world-best practice. I recommend Libertas Academica publications highly.
