Number of true QTL discovered (log scale) within groups of variants binned on posterior probabilities, for three simulated traits. The sum across all bins is the number of true QTL with posterior probability > 0.01 out of a total of 4000 simulated QTL. Results are shown for the AUS-Sim data (real genotypes with 4000 simulated QTL) applying a range of BayesR and BayesRC models (see Table 2 for description of BayesRC models). Posterior probabilities are calculated as the proportion of iterations that a variant was estimated to have a real effect on the trait
