2013-12-11 - v1.6


Now supports skygrid analysis and does KDE density plots

New features:

  • Multilocus 'Skygrid' analysis option - use this option when analysing BEAST output generated under this model.
  • Density plots are now drawn as kernal density estimates instead of histograms.
  • Traces can be designated as integer or categorical with appropriate plots and statistics given.

Bugs fixed:

  • Minor bug fixes.

2009-11-30 - v1.5


A number of new features including drag-and-drop file import.

New features:

  • Can now import log files by dragging them into the left hand side of the window.
  • GMRF 'Skyride' analysis option - use this option when analysing BEAST output generated under this model (Minin, Bloomquist & Suchard, 2008, Mol Biol Evol 25:1459-71).
  • Burnins are shown on trace plots (in a paler colour).
  • The ESSs of 'Combined Traces' are now calculated explicitly rather than just summing the individual ESSs. This shows cases where individual traces are sampling different distributions.

Bugs fixed:

  • Fixed bug when selecting 'Combined Trace' on its own. A checkbox is available for hiding these.
  • By default the trace panel shows the complete trace rather than a sub-sample.
  • Fixed issues when columns had the same name - a suffix is now appended.

2008-11-29 - v1.4.1


A minor update with a few new features

New features:

  • Multiple trace files can now be selected in the Import dialog box When selecting multiple trace files, the common set of traces are displayed (even if they are in a different order - as long as they are named the same) to make model comparisons easier.

Bugs fixed:

  • Fixed problem with freezing when selecting a static (non-changing) trace
  • Fixed some issues with setting up 'Temporal Analyses'

2007-10-11 - v1.4


A major update with many new features

New features:

  • Overlay distributions from different files and statistics
  • More control over plotting
  • Export of graphics as PDFs and raw data from most views
  • Calculation of Bayes Factors to compare runs with different models
  • Overlay demographics reconstructions including Skyline plots
  • Translucent points for joint-marginal densities
  • Faster and more accurate ESS analysis

Bugs fixed:

  • This is an almost complete re-write so all bugs are new

2005-09-29 - v1.3


Numerous bug fixes

Bugs fixed:

  • Fixes crashes when the wrong model is selected in Bayesian Skyline reconstruction.
  • Fixes crashes when solid intervals is chosen with zero values.
  • More reliably reveals statistics table when a log file is loaded.
  • Keeps log likelihood values in non-scientific format.
  • Can copy and paste from all tabs and windows.
  • Can export raw numerical data as text file.

2005-02-25 - v1.2.1


Adds new analyses and fixes a couple of bugs.

New features:

  • Now analyses the new Bayesian Skyline Plot.
  • More demographic model analyses.
  • Can now remove Traces from the table.

Bugs fixed:

  • A few minor bug fixes.

2004-10-28 - v1.2


Adds new analyses and fixes a couple of bugs.

New features:

  • Now analyses the new Bayesian Skyline Plot.
  • More demographic model analyses.

Bugs fixed:

  • Keeps a menu available on the mac even when all the windows have been closed.
  • Fixes a problem with the reporting of erroneous mean parameter values when multiple traces were combined after changing from default burn-in sizes.

2004-09-17 - v1.1.1


Now allows multiple Tracer windows.

New features:

  • Allows multiple Tracer windows using the "New" command.

2004-05-24 - v1.1


New version with a number of new features.

New features:

  • Added a new Analysis menu that has a single item: Demographic Analysis - this draws a plot of the posterior density of the demographic function over time.
  • Added a plot in the Estimates tab when multiple statistic traces are selected. It now shows a series of range bars for the HPD allowing comparison of related statistics.
  • Can optionally draw every point in the Trace plot or only a sample if the file is large.
  • Can now select multiple traces when multiple trace files are combined.
  • Improved legend display for plotting densities of multiple combined trace files.

Bugs fixed:

  • Minor bug fixes

2003-09-22 - v1.0.1


Fixed problem with taking too much CPU time and crashing on certain traces

New features:

  • Progress dialog box when loading large files

Bugs fixed:

  • Fixed problem with analysis thread using up way too much CPU time when not doing anything. This was more noticable on Windows machines.
  • Fixed problem with the program hanging when a parameter trace contained only one value over its entire length (mainly discrete parameters).
  • Switched to native look-and-feel on Windows.

2003-08-08 - v1.0


First released version
