Precision in MaCS #39

Closed ismael-mendoza closed 5 years ago

ismael-mendoza commented 5 years ago

Hello @gchen98,

I was wondering if there was any way of increasing the precision (say, to 10 significant digits) of the coalescent times in the trees produced from MaCS?

Thanks, Ismael

I don't think there would be a portable, straightforward way beyond what we are doing. Ideally we would store in 32 bit floats for speed, but right now heights (e.g. coal times) are already stored as 64 bit doubles.

Thanks for your response @gchen98!
