Estimates (posterior medians and 95% credible intervals) of branch lengths and model parameters from probe-set level data, using various choices of outgroups: none (HC, human–chimp), one outgroup (rhesus macaque, HCR; or orangutan, HCO), or two outgroup species (HCRO). For inferences from data without quantile–quantile normalization see supplemental Table 4.

a

t1, length of human branch; t2, length of chimpanzee branch; a and σ, shape parameters of the distribution of change magnitudes; p, proportion of outliers; var, event variance (a2 + σ2); div, expected number of events between human and chimpanzee (t1 + t2); n, number of probe sets in the data set; ESS, effective sample size for t1.
