Properties of division trees as a function of <i>v</i>, the probability of self-renewal in compartments 1, …, <i>n</i> − 1.

Abstract

<p>(a) Mean tree length, defined as the mean number of compartments involved in the division trees. (b) Mean division position. For an individual tree, sequence <a href="http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1005967#pcbi.1005967.e005" target="_blank">(1)</a>, this is defined as ; plotted is the expectation of this quantity across all the trees. In this example, <i>n</i> = 4.</p
