  1. The performance was measured using the percentage of estimates with the wrong sign (WS). While FN2 refers to a squared Frobenius norm (FN2) measure (explained in the text), which should be close to 0. All parameter choices and details of the simulation can be found in Additional file 1. All standard deviations for FN2 were <0.001
