(A) Estimation of Ψ by MMC-ABC. Estimates were averaged over 100 replicate populations of size $N=1000$ with values of Ψ and N drawn from priors $\sim U\left[0,0.3\right]$ and $\sim U\left[250,4000\right]$, demonstrating the robustness of MMC-ABC to mis-specification of census size. True values of Ψ are indicated by the dashed line. (B) Estimation of Ψ by MMC-ABC, with estimates averaged over 100 replicate populations of size $N=1000$ with either the correct value of N or an incorrect value of N $\left(N\in \left\{250,500,1000,2000,4000\right\}\right)$ specified, demonstrating the nonlinear relationship between N and $N_e$ under the Ψ-coalescent, with mis-specification of N having little effect on the accurate estimation of Ψ when Ψ is large.
