Table 3. All analyses performed, including original dataset and changes applied to each iteration.

Analysis Source of original Settings
Analysis A1 Arbour & Currie (2016) Lesothosaurus used as outgroup. All characters unordered and of equal weight. Bissektipelta, Minmi paravertebra and Tianchisaurus removed. Huayangosaurus used as exemplifier for Stegosauria. ‘Traditional’ search performed with original settings of Arbour & Currie (2016).
Analysis A2 Arbour & Currie (2016) Same as Analysis A1, except a ‘New Technology’ search was performed.
Analysis A3 Arbour & Currie (2016) Same as Analysis A2, except Paranthodon was added as an Operational Taxonomic Unit.
Analysis A4 Arbour & Currie (2016) Same as Analysis A2, except Paranthodon and Stegosaurus were added as OTUs, and Huayangosaurus removed.
Analysis A5 Arbour & Currie (2016) Same as Analysis A2, except Paranthodon and Stegosaurus were added as OTUs, in addition to Huayangosaurus.
Analysis A6 Arbour & Currie (2016) Same as Analysis A5, except Paranthodon was constrained to fall within Ankylosauria.
Analysis B1 Arbour, Zanno & Gates (2016) Lesothosaurus used as outgroup. All characters unordered and of equal weight. Huayangosaurus used as exemplifier for Stegosauria. ‘Traditional’ search performed with original settings of Arbour, Zanno & Gates (2016).
Analysis B2 Arbour, Zanno & Gates (2016) Same as Analysis B1, except a ‘New Technology’ search was performed.
Analysis B3 Arbour, Zanno & Gates (2016) Same as Analysis B2, except Paranthodon was added as an Operational Taxonomic Unit.
Analysis B4 Arbour, Zanno & Gates (2016) Same as Analysis B2, except Paranthodon and Stegosaurus were added as OTUs, and Huayangosaurus removed.
Analysis B5 Arbour, Zanno & Gates (2016) Same as Analysis B2, except Paranthodon and Stegosaurus were added as OTUs, in addition to Huayangosaurus.
Analysis B6 Arbour, Zanno & Gates (2016) Same as Analysis B5, except Paranthodon was constrained to fall within Ankylosauria.
Analysis C1 Baron, Norman & Barrett (2017) Euparkeria used as outgroup. Characters 112, 135, 137, 138, 174 ordered. Anabisetia, Echinodon, Koreanosaurus, Yandosaurus and Yueosaurus removed. ‘New Technology’ search performed with original settings.
Analysis C2 Baron, Norman & Barrett (2017) Same as Analysis C1, except Paranthodon was added as an OTU.
Analysis C3 Baron, Norman & Barrett (2017) Same as Analysis C2, except Stegosaurus replaced Huayangosaurus as the exemplifier for Stegosauria.
Analysis C4 Baron, Norman & Barrett (2017) Same as Analysis C2, except Stegosaurus was added as an OTU, as well as Huayangosaurus.
Analysis C5 Baron, Norman & Barrett (2017) Same as Analysis C4, except Isaberrysaura was added as an OTU.
Analysis C6 Baron, Norman & Barrett (2017) Same as Analysis C4, except Paranthodon was constrained to fall within Ornithopoda.
Analysis D1 Boyd (2015) Marasuchus used as outgroup. All characters unordered. ‘New Technology’ search performed with original settings of Boyd (2015).
Analysis D2 Boyd (2015) Same as Analysis D1, except Paranthodon was added as an OTU.
Analysis D3 Boyd (2015) Same as Analysis D2, except Huayangosaurus was added as an OTU.
Analysis D4 Boyd (2015) Same as Analysis D2, except Stegosaurus was added as an OTU.
Analysis D5 Boyd (2015) Same as Analysis D2, except Huayangosaurus and Stegosaurus were added as OTUs.
Analysis D6 Boyd (2015) Same as Analysis D5, except Isaberrysaura added as an OTU.
Analysis D7 Boyd (2015) Same as Analysis D5, except Paranthodon was constrained to fall within Ornithopoda.
Analysis D8 Boyd (2015) Same as Analysis D5, except Paranthodon was constrained to fall within Thyreophora.
Analysis E1 Raven & Maidment (2017) Pisanosaurus used as outgroup. The first 24 continuous characters were ordered, as were characters 34, 111 and 112. Discrete characters weighted equally. Character list and character scorings updated from Raven & Maidment (2017).
Analysis E2 Raven & Maidment (2017) Same as Analysis E1, except Isaberrysaura added as an OTU
Analysis E3 Raven & Maidment (2017) Same as Analysis E1, except Paranthodon was constrained to fall within Ankylosauria.
Analysis F1 Thompson et al. (2012) Lesothosaurus used as outgroup. Bissektipelta excluded as an OTU. Characters 25, 27, 32, 133, 159, 167 removed. All remaining characters unordered and equally weighted. ‘Traditional’ search performed with original settings of Thompson et al. (2012).
Analysis F2 Thompson et al. (2012) Same as Analysis F1, except that a ‘New Technology’ search was performed and Paranthodon was included as an OTU.
Analysis F3 Thompson et al. (2012) Same as Analysis F2, except that Paranthodon was constrained to fall within Stegosauria.
