Hi Ryan,
Okay, so generally the ML search algo implemented in there is more
thorough than the BS search algorithm. To this end, one might suspect
that the ML search algorithm finds a more optimal tree. Thus it is hard
to judge if the ML tree or BS tree is suboptimal.
I would thus run a couple of standard bootstraps with the bootstopping
option enabled (see manual) and then re-compute a majority rule consensus.
Cheers,
Alexis
