Correlations between parameter estimates and true values. We report Pearson’s correlation coefficient (R) and confidence intervals (CI) between the estimated parameters and the true values. We distinguish between datasets where the most recent common ancestor of all cells occurred within the editing period (phylogenetic signal) or after (no phylogenetic signal).
