Error in msprime Out-of-Africa model #1

Description

@jeromekelleher

We have recently learned that there was an error in the description of the Gutenkunst et al model provided as an example in the msprime tutorial. It appears that you are using a copy of the incorrect model in this repo, and so I am opening this issue to alert you.

Please see here for details on what the error is, and what actions you can take to fix it.

We have also written a short note analysing this and another related error, detailing the likely effects on downstream analysis. Thankfully, the differences between the misspecified model from msprime's documentation and the intended model are slight.

I apologise for this error and I sincerely hope that it has not affected your research.
