TipDatingBeast - Using Tip Dates with Phylogenetic Trees in BEAST
Assists performing tip-dating of phylogenetic trees with
BEAST BEAST is a popular software for phylogenetic analysis.
The package assists the implementation of various phylogenetic
tip- dating tests using BEAST. It contains two main functions.
The first one allows preparing date randomization analyses,
which assess the temporal signal of a data set. The second
function allows performing leave-one-out analyses, which test
for the consistency between independent calibration sequences
and allow pinpointing those leading to potential bias. The
included tutorial provides detailed step-by-step instructions.
An expanded description of the package can be found in article:

package to assist the implementation of phylogenetic tip-dating
tests using BEAST. Molecular Ecology Resources, 17: 608-613.
