Description
Dear Nick,
I'm trying to work out a model with complex admixtures starting with a simple one and adding nodes. My starting point was based on a D calculation that wasn't significant, using qpDstat. But when I plot the qpGraph, I get f statistics with repeated populations. Is this normal behaviour?
I'm attaching the qpGraph below.
Many thanks in advance

Research direction
The report concerns qpGraph output and a qpDstat result, with an attached graph but no files or tests named. Start by reproducing the reported qpGraph result and comparing the repeated-population f statistics with the described qpDstat result. Done means determining whether this output is expected or identifying a reproducible discrepancy.
