The node age coverage probabilities for the three separate analyses performed on each of the fossil calibration sets
| Calibration set | DPP-HP | Fixed-λV | Fixed-λI |
|---|---|---|---|
| A (one category) | 0.970 | 0.946 | 0.831 |
| B (two categories) | 0.955 | 0.941 | 0.734 |
| C (three categories) | 0.926 | 0.877 | 0.566 |
| D (uniform distribution) | 0.811 | 0.689 | 0.354 |
Notes: The coverage probability is the proportion of nodes (across all simulation replicates) where the true node time was contained within the 95% CI. The simulations were analyzed under four different calibration sets described in Fig. 4.
