Figure 6
(a, c) The distribution of the number of failed trials tested (i.e. the number of random phase sets tested) to reach a correct structure in (a) 64 independent phasing experiments with the dsRNA data and (c) 364 phasing experiments with the hairpin data. The curves are the fitted geometric distributions. The geometric distribution has a single parameter, the probability of success in a trial. This probability the associated standard error: probability = 0.004142 ± 0.000491 for the dsRNA data and probability = 0.0321 ± 0.0012 for the hairpin data. (b, d) Geometric probability plots of the theoretical values versus observed data for (b) the dsRNA and (d) the hairpin RNA. The correlation coefficient was 0.95 for the dsRNA and 0.99 for the hairpin RNA. Probability computations were performed with the MASS package in R (Venables & Ripley, 2002 ![]() |
