DESCRIPTION

       BEAST is a cross-platform program for Bayesian MCMC analysis of molecular sequences. It is
       entirely orientated towards rooted, time-measured phylogenies  inferred  using  strict  or
       relaxed  molecular  clock models. It can be used as a method of reconstructing phylogenies
       but is also a framework for testing evolutionary  hypotheses  without  conditioning  on  a
       single  tree  topology.  BEAST  uses MCMC to average over tree space, so that each tree is
       weighted proportional to its posterior probability. Included is  a  simple  to  use  user-
       interface  program  for  setting up standard analyses and a suit of programs for analysing
       the results.

       This is no new upstream version of beast-mcmc (1.x) but rather a rewritten version.

OPTIONS

       -window Provide a console window

       -options Display an options dialog

       -working Change working directory to input file's directory

       -seed Specify a random number generator seed

       -prefix Specify a prefix for all output log filenames

       -statefile Specify the filename for storing/restoring the state

       -overwrite Allow overwriting of log files

       -resume Allow appending of log files

       -validate Parse the XML, but do not run -- useful for debugging XML

       -errors Specify maximum number of numerical errors before stopping

       -threads The number of computational threads to use (default 1), -1 for number of cores

       -java Use Java only, no native implementations

       -noerr Suppress all output to standard error

       -loglevel error,warning,info,debug,trace

       -instances divide site patterns amongst number of threads (use with -threads option)

       -beagle Use beagle library if available

       -beagle_info BEAGLE: show information on available resources

       -beagle_order BEAGLE: set order of resource use

       -beagle_CPU BEAGLE: use CPU instance

       -beagle_GPU BEAGLE: use GPU instance if available

       -beagle_SSE BEAGLE: use SSE extensions if available

       -beagle_single BEAGLE: use single precision if available

       -beagle_double BEAGLE: use double precision if available

       -beagle_scaling BEAGLE: specify scaling scheme to use

       -help Print this information and stop

       -version Print version and stop
