calc_ranks_since_mrca_uncertainty_with(focal: Union[HereditaryStratigraphicColumn, HereditaryStratigraphicSpecimen], other: Union[HereditaryStratigraphicColumn, HereditaryStratigraphicSpecimen], prior: Literal['arbitrary'], confidence_level: float = 0.95) → int | None

How wide is the estimation window for generations elapsed since MRCA?

Calculates uncertainty of estimate for the number of depositions elapsed along focal column’s line of descent since the most common recent ancestor with other.

Returns 0 if no common ancestor between focal and other can be resolved with sufficient confidence. If insufficient common ranks between focal and other are available to resolve any common ancestor, returns None.
