Table 1. Summary of the simulation results. The accuracy of the intercept estimate (binary outcome) was modelled in a binomial-family generalised linear model using the host nuclear genome size ‘GS’ and the mapping depth of nuclear reads to the vagrant DNA reference ‘numtDep’ as (log-transformed) predictors. The model coefficients (column ‘Estimate’) are given on logit scale.
