does_share_any_common_ancestor
- does_share_any_common_ancestor(population: Iterable[Union[HereditaryStratigraphicColumn, HereditaryStratigraphicSpecimen]], confidence_level: float = 0.95) → bool | None
Determine if common ancestry is evidenced within the population.
If insufficient common ranks between strata are available to resolve any common ancestor, returns None.
Note that stratum rention policies are strictly required to permanently retain the most ancient stratum.
Parameters
- confidence_levelfloat, optional
The probability that we will correctly conclude no common ancestor is shared if, indeed, no common ancestor is actually shared. Default 0.95.
