Uncertainty Quantification through Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) can be prohibitively expensive for target probability densities with expensive likelihood functions, for instance when the evaluation it involves solving a Partial Differential Equation (PDE), as is the case in a wide range of engineering applications.

We describe a new and computationally efficient Bayesian methodology for inferring species trees and demographics from unlinked binary markers.

We find that the importance-weight corrected quasi-Monte Carlo quadrature performs best in all computed examples, and is orders-of-magnitude more efficient than DRAM across a wide range of approximation accuracies and sample sizes.
