  1. RD distance and IQ distance are the average topological distances over 100 runs from the inferred root to the true root  normalized by the number of nodes (both tips and internal nodes). Similarly  for MAD the distance is also normalized by the number of nodes  but only 1 iteration was performed
  2. aAveraged over 100 independent executions
  3. bIn early stop mode
  4. cIn search mode
  5. dResults obtained using UNREST (without rate categories)
