| 6 | TNT | Branch-and-bound | Gee (2020b) | This study |
| 7 | PAUP* | Branch-and-bound | Dilkes (2020) | Dilkes (2020), with scoring changes |
| 8 | PAUP* | Branch-and-bound | Gee (2020b) | This study |
| 9A | TNT | Branch-and-bound | Dilkes (2020) | Dilkes (2020), original scores |
| 9B | TNT | Branch-and-bound | Dilkes (2020) | Dilkes (2020), with scoring changes |
Note:
The heuristic search in TNT is termed ‘traditional search,’ and the branch-and-bound search is termed ‘implicit enumeration.’
