| MrBayes is a program for the Bayesian estimation of phylogeny. |
| Bayesian inference of phylogeny is based upon a quantity called the |
| posterior probability distribution of trees, which is the probability of a |
| tree conditioned on the observations. The conditioning is accomplished using |
| Bayes's theorem. The posterior probability distribution of trees is |
| impossible to calculate analytically; instead, MrBayes uses a simulation |
| technique called Markov chain Monte Carlo (or MCMC) to approximate the |
| posterior probabilities of trees. |
