Type of Analysis and ARP	τ	λ
Subsetsa:
Full siblings	73.0 (63.3–82.7)	1.4 (1.1–2.0)
First cousins:
Solution 1	24.1 (9.8–38.5)	1.4 (.8–2.3)
Solution 2	92.3 (77.2–107.3)	1.4 (.9–2.0)
Avuncular pairs	58.1 (25.0–91.2)	1.3 (.6–3.4)
Model Cb:
Full siblings		1.4 (1.1–2.0)
First cousins		1.3 (.8–1.9)
Avuncular pairs		1.2 (.8–2.1)
Common τ	72.9 (64.1–81.7)
Model λc	72.7 (64.2–81.1)	1.4 (1.1–1.7)

^aSeparate τ and C were fit for each different ARP subset.

^bA common τ with different C coefficients for the different ARP types.

^cThe C coefficients were modeled as dependent on a single common λ, simultaneously with a single τ.
