Dear all,
I am encoutering troubles when trying to run an analysis with the CladeAge calibration method. In short, I have delimited CladeAge priors for two clades (one outgroup and one ingroup, which are sister-group), but running BEAST2 ends up with this error message (below).
Any help appreciated,
Philippe.
