Lineage-through-time plots of birth-death processes

Probability 2007-11-05 v1

Abstract

We calculate the density and expectation for the number of lineages in a reconstructed tree with nn extant species. This is done with conditioning on the age of the tree as well as with assuming a uniform prior for the age of the tree.
