I won't get to attend the conference in Luxembourg in person this December, but I hope that the paper is received well and generates further interest and discussion of how Bayesian phylogenetics can be fruitfully applied to textual traditions!

Great question! I offer a comparison between them and highlight some of their methodological distinctives in my introductory chapter.

Many thanks to my supervisors @sccarlson.bsky.social, @kycrabbe.bsky.social, and Rob Turnbull) and to everyone who supported me for the last 3.5 years! Some people's favorite thing about their thesis is getting it done, but I'm grateful to say that mine was a joy to write, and I'm proud of it.

I am also happy to answer questions from anyone interested. (But I reserve the right to avoid spoilers at my discretion.)

Thanks so much! That would be wonderful!

Congratulations! 🎉

This release also adds support for a table of average MI rather than total MI. The mean-idf and mean-mi formats work better with more fragmentary witnesses. But be warned that if extremely fragmentary witnesses are not filtered out, then their values may be overinflated in these table formats!
