Mean absolute errors of parameters on simulated polyploid datasets.

Mean absolute errors	Triploid	Tetraploid	Pentaploid	Hexaploid
Repetitiveness (d)	2.29 × 10−3	6.61 × 10−3	9.64 × 10−3	1.67 × 10−2
Nucleotide divergence	3.58 × 10−4	7.38 × 10−4	1.13 × 10−3	3.76 × 10−3
Monoploid length	2182 bp	4320 bp	5138 bp	7969 bp

Simulated datasets include 75 simulated triploid datasets, 750 simulated tetraploid datasets, 1215 simulated pentaploid datasets, and 11,664 simulated hexaploid datasets. Nucleotide divergence refers the proportion of loci along the genome for which the nucleotides across all the homologs are not all the same.
