  1. The table shows the average number of trees (for 100 simulations) in the 95% confidence sets of GLS, WLS, SH and ELW out of 100 trees constructed for simulated 10-, 15- and 20-taxon sequences and the coverage of this confidence sets for GLS and WLS (the frequency in which the confidence set included the true tree).
