From: A maximum-likelihood estimation of pairwise relatedness for autopolyploids

The minimal number of loci required to obtain a 95% confidence interval±0.05 units of r in half-sibs showed in Figure 3. Three estimators were compared in diploids (‘—’), tetraploids (‘– –’), hexaploids (‘– .’) and octoploids (‘…’). Results were obtained by the split-half method and 30 000 Monte Carlo simulations per attempt.
