.xml parse error in BEAST 2

[chandith1]

Dear all
I am trying to run the phylogeography model in BEAST2. I prepared the .xml file using BEAUTI 2 based on a .nex file. However, when I tried to run the .xml file in BEAST2, the following error appeared.

Error 110 parsing the xml input file

validate and intialize error: For input string: "1.352083_103.819836_1991"

Error detected about here:
  <beast>
      <run id='mcmc' spec='MCMC'>
          <distribution id='posterior' spec='util.CompoundDistribution'>
              <distribution id='prior' spec='util.CompoundDistribution'>
                  <distribution id='rootPrior.location' spec='beast.math.distributions.MultivariateNormalDistribution'>
                      <arg id='rootTrait.location' spec='beast.evolution.tree.RootTrait'>
                          <traitmap id='traitmap.s:location' spec='beast.evolution.tree.TreeTraitMap'>

I have attached both .xml and .nex files for your reference. Any help to sort this out would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Chanditha,

It looks like the locations traits are not properly formatted -- for the location a latitude longitude pair are expected, but your data contains some other information as well; where the XML file says

AF410379_1.352083_103.819836_1991=1.352083_103.819836_1991 103.819836,

you probably want

AF410379_1.352083_103.819836_1991 = 103.819836    103.819836,

and similar for all other locations.

Cheers,

Remco
