  • a The average of the 100 location estimates in the 100 simulations (true location = 0.88 cM).

  • b The sample standard deviation of the 100 location estimates.

  • c The average width of the 95% probability intervals (PIs) in the 100 simulations.

  • d Root mean square error (RMSE): square root of the average squared differences between the estimated and the true location, i.e., RMSE = Formula, where θ is the ture location and Formula is the location estimate based on the ith simulated data set.

  • e The percentage of times (in the 100 simulations) that the 95% PI overlapped with the target region.
