BaSTA right now works on unit time intervals and thus agesQuant provides the 50% quantile and the lower and upper 95% credible intervals for the age estimates. All three numbers are in time units, not continuous. We are working on extending BaSTA to take not only CMR data but other types of data as well, some of which will have continuous age. We'll have that in the future.</div><div><br></div><div> Best,</div><div><br></div><div> Fernando<br><div>
