  1. Coverage probability (CP, in \(\%\)) and the mean and median of the widths of the highest posterior density intervals or confidence intervals (respectively denoted as \(\hbox {W}_{\mathrm{mean}}\) and \(\hbox {W}_{\mathrm{median}}\)) of Bayesian method with normal prior (BN), Bayesian method with uniform prior (BU), penalized Fieller’s (PF) and Fieller’s methods among 500 replicates are given under qualitative trait and quantitative trait when \((\sigma _{0}^{2},\ \sigma _{1}^{2},\ \sigma _{2}^{2})=(1,\ 1.2,\ 1)\). The empirical CP should be between \(93.05\%\) and \(96.95\%\) (\(0.95 \pm 2 \times \sqrt{\frac{0.95\times 0.05}{500}}\)) with \(95\%\) probability
