mcmctree out of 95% confidence interval

[Fang Li]

Hello everyone,

I run mcmctree to estimate divergence times of my tree. While for a node we got divergence time 0.749591 but with 95% confidence interval 0.678095 - 0.732349. Does anyone know why the final estimated value is out of the 95% confidence interval ?

Very much appreciated your suggestions!

Best,

Fang

that sounds strange.  

if you send me the files to reproduce the problem, i can have a look.  please send me the necessary files (the sequence alignment, the tree file, the control file) but not files that are not essential.
best, ziheng
