Degree of parameter recovery. Rates and times inferred using the combined method (green curves), and the r × t-method (red curves) are compared with the corresponding true parameters that were used to generate the sequence data. Results for 10-leaf (upper figure), and 100-leaf trees (lower figure) are shown. We plot the deviation of the inferred parameter from the true value against different rate variances v. Rates and times are shown as stars and circles, respectively.
