 GADMA implements methods for automatic inference of the joint demographic history of multiple populations from the genetic data.

-GADMA provides two types of demograpic inference: 1) for user-specified model of demographic history or a custom model, 2) automatic inference for the model with specified structure (up to three populations, see more [here](https://gadma.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_manual/set_model/set_model_struct.html)).
