Median and interquartile ranges of the relative error in the extracted values for ${\mu }_a$ and ${\mu }_s^{\prime }$ with $R_{\text{Cuccia}}(k)$ [Eq. (4)], $R_{\mathrm{PCBC}}(k)$ [Eq. (10)], and $R_{\mathrm{EBC}}(k)$ [Eq. (11)]. Using $R_{\mathrm{PCBC}}(k)$ instead of $R_{\text{Cuccia}}(k)$ reduces the median relative error in the extracted value of ${\mu }_a$ by 64% from 0.022 to 0.008 and the median relative error in the extracted value of ${\mu }_{\mathrm{s}}^{\prime }$ by 10% from 0.029 to 0.026.
