Estimating the Relative Order of Speciation or Coalescence Events on a Given Phylogeny

The reconstruction of large phylogenetic trees from data that violates clocklike evolution (or as a supertree constructed from any m input trees) raises a difficult question for biologists–how can one assign relative dates to the vertices of the tree? In this paper we investigate this problem, as su...
