Estimated covariance can improve inference of selection coefficients with ample data. (a) Spearman’s rank correlation coefficients and (b) MAE between inferred and true selection coefficients are shown, using different lengths of data, averaged over 200 simulations with same setup as shown in Fig. 1a. With ample data, the Est method performs reliably better than the SL method at all lengths, demonstrating that inference can be improved with estimated linkage information.
