#' genieR: Inference of demographic history from phylogeny
#'
#' @description The R package genieR allows inference of demographic history from reconstructed molecular phylogenies.
#' The package provides a statistical inference based on coalescent theory for the demographic history of a population from
#' phyloginies that have been reconstructed from sampled DNA sequences. It covers a few functions designed in
#' GENIE, Pybus and Rambaut (2002).
#'
#' The inference is conducted in both the maximum likelihood approach and Bayesian approach. The package also allow
#' users to simulates coalescen and sampling times for isochronous and heterochronous data. Furthermore, users can extract
#' sorted sampling/coalescent times and sampling/coalescent lineages from a phylogenetic tree.
#'
#' We encourage users to look at \code{\link{genieR.Rmd}}.
