Precision in parameter estimation using microsatellite, mtDNA and/or nuclear DNA sequence data under scenario 1. Results are based on 500 pseudo-observed test data sets simulated and estimated under scenario 1 presented in Figure 1, with parameter values drawn from the same distributions as the prior distributions given in the legend of Figure 1. The demographic parameters N, t1, t2, t3, t4, t5, r1 and r2 are detailed in Figure 1. RMAE: relative median absolute errors. The blue columns correspond to the "base-level" RMAE values obtained using only the prior information on parameters (no genetic data).
