We describe the tripartite model used for Bayesian estimation of time calibrated phylogenetic trees. We provide an overview of the most widely used models for each component (the substitution, clock and tree models) and highlight the advantages of implementing the tripartite model within a Bayesian framework.

This Element provides a hypothesis-driven look at testing models for diversification in Cambrian echinoderms, fitting and using a joint tree and diversification model to estimate a dated phylogeny of the Cincta (Echinodermata).
