Snippet: When using the more flexible and non-parametric BSP approach, the times of coalescent events in the corresponding phylogenetic tree need to be examined (especially the time of the most recent coalescent event). Alternatively, the LTT graph should be inspected to estimate the time after which there are no new lineages. We suggest that any changes evident in the BSP from this time period onwards should be disregarded. This applies most strongly dur.....
Document: When using the more flexible and non-parametric BSP approach, the times of coalescent events in the corresponding phylogenetic tree need to be examined (especially the time of the most recent coalescent event). Alternatively, the LTT graph should be inspected to estimate the time after which there are no new lineages. We suggest that any changes evident in the BSP from this time period onwards should be disregarded. This applies most strongly during the exponential growth phase of disease spread when the imprint of such growth will be reflected in longbranch lengths at later time periods in the phylogeny.
