a) Induced marginal prior distributions (gray) versus calibration densities (black line) versus marginal posterior distributions (dark gray) for the calibrated nodes from (Sithaldeen et al. 2009) using the multiplicative construction. The induced marginal prior distributions were obtained from an MCMC run using the prior only. The calibration densities are as defined by the authors. b) Similar to (a) but using the conditional-construction. The marginal distributions match the calibration densities as expected. c) Similar to (b), using the conditional construction and a strict molecular clock.
