weigh the likelihood model of branch lengths in trees by a penalty function applying data-independent constraints to the parameter values. When used for dating purposes, these methods attempt to account for rate variation by penalizing rates that change too quickly from a branch to a neighboring branch. It is considered as an intermediate between molecular clock and completely unconstrained rate variation. (Van de Peer 2009)
