Table 5. Assessment of dating error for the clock (CL) and UCLN (UC) analyses of the simulated ucln data.

All measures involve distance from the true node age, and are cumulative sums across all nodes. Height is the inferred node age. Lower and Higher regard the 95% HPD node age bounds. Nodes (%) indicates the percent of true node ages contained within the HPD interval. Error is the total error involved, equivalent to Low + High.
