AMP: **A**ssessing phylogenetic **M**odel fit with **P**osterior prediction

AMP is software for assessing phylogenetic model fit through the use of posterior predictive simulation and inference-based test statistics (or quantities). It is written in python and runs from the command line.

No user's manual has been written yet. For basic information on command-line syntax, download the code and run it by typing: "python amp0.98.py --help".
