Results from simulation study to assess robustness. We assess the performance of our method under each distribution that we use to simulate the true tract lengths (first column) and the chosen setting of the tract length distribution (second column). We report the empirical bias (third column) and standard deviation (fourth column) of our estimate of the mean, as well as the empirical coverage of our 95% confidence interval (fifth column) across 100 replicates of the simulation study. Under the BIC-selected setting, we use the estimate and confidence interval from the distributional setting with the smallest Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) value in each of the 100 replicates.
