Hi again,

I performed an Outlier Model and after running it showed an error message next to the sequence:  Warning! No outlier model specified - use Outlier_Model() . Can I just ignore this since it does not affect the actual dates? 

Also how do I proceed with the flagged outliers now? Do I exclude them entirely?

Best, 
Jonah

It is hard to see without seeing the model. This statement is normally given when there is no Outlier model specified (which there seems to be here) or an inappropriate one for the context (eg a radiocarbon one for non-radiocarbon dates).

Best wishes

Christopher

I figured it out. I had wrongly integrated the R_Combine dates into the Outlier Model.
Thank you again!
