Why is the distribution of the root height statistic not uniform using sample from prior?
Question: I have a slight problem with BEAST. I have generated a configuration file with BEAUti. The prior on the root height is set as uniform (in the [74,200] range). I also selected the option ‘sample from prior’. I then ran BEAST and obtained a log file. The problem is that the distribution of the root height statistic is not uniform. Is this a known problem or did I do something wrong?
