  1. These estimates, computed as , are used to draw bootstrap replications (line 4 in Algorithm 1) and then to estimate the bootstrap p-values (as in Figure 3 and Additional file 2: Figure S2).
  2. aThe mean and SD (in parenthesis) of the estimates of γ .
  3. b#: the number of data sets with within a factor of k from the true γ .
