PODS results for estimation of Ψ under varying prior on Ψ and sorting method for the 18 taxon-pair configuration. Scatterplots of true versus estimated values of Ψ for 100 PODS under different models of prior distribution on Ψ and applying different sorting strategies for the 18 taxon-pair data configuration. PODS were analyzed using reference tables composed of 3 × 10⁶ samples from the prior. Points in the plot are slightly perturbed to visualize the number of points for each estimate. The dashed line is the identity line, and the red line is a simple linear regression of estimated Ψ onto true Ψ. a) Dirichlet-process prior with sorted summary statistics. b) Dirichlet-process prior with unsorted summary statistics. c) Uniform prior with sorted summary statistics. d) Uniform prior with unsorted summary statistics
