Robustness to directional errors on selfing rate. (a) Mean of t̂ estimated for successive values of t from populations simulated with a selfing rate of s=0.5, but using s=0.25, 0.5 and 0.75 ( 
, respectively) to compute the likelihoods. The s=0.5 plot corresponds to the case for which the age was estimated without error on the selfing rate. Polynomial curves were fitted to facilitate the reading of the figure. (b) Mean of t̂ estimated from populations simulated using s=0.25, 0.5 and 0.75 ( 
, respectively), but using either the parametric selfing rate (Mean 1 (t̂)) or the FIS-based estimate (Mean 2 (t̂)) to compute the likelihoods. The FIS-based estimates were calculated using Equation (5) and the expected FIS values at age t. Dots falling on the y=x line correspond to cases yielding equivalently biased estimates.
