The column “True Phylo” denotes the underlying truth and the columns “QuartetS”, “QuartetA”, “QuartetM”, “Quartet-Net”, “Neighbor-Net”, and “Neighbor-Joining” denote the reconstructed results by each method respectively. In addition, “Wei” denotes the average weight of the corresponding split over 100 runs; “BV” denote bootstrap value.
