Description

DPH model selection files are data-specific and contain the results of state degeneracy analysis via discrete phase-type distributions in module Transition analysis.

They are created in the /transition_analysis/kinetic-model analysis sub-folder when exporting results in window Export options of module Transition analysis.

File name

The file is named by the user during the export process. By default, the file is named after the selected project file.

The file name is appended with the extension _[Ddd]_BIC where [Ddd] is the data type written in the file.

Data types supported in dwell time files are:

• I[i]-[L]: intensities in detection channel indexed [i] upon illumination with laser wavelength [L] nm
• FRET[D]to[A]: FRET from donor emitter detected in channel indexed [D] to acceptor emitter detected in channel indexed [A]
• S[D]to[A]: stoichiometry associated to donor emitter detected in channel indexed [D] and acceptor emitter detected in channel indexed [A]

Structure

Model selection results are organized column-wise with:

• column D containing state degeneracy
• columns BIC (state [val]) containing BIC values calculated for observed state value [val] as described in Transition analysis Workflow

D	BIC(state -0.00)	BIC(state 0.70)	
1	2.437739e+03	3.264867e+03	
2	2.443784e+03	3.195992e+03	
3	2.468310e+03	3.224519e+03
