A Canonical Model of Multistability and Scale-Invariance in Biological Systems
Figure 6
Summary system statistics for ‘degree of bimodality’.
A,E: BIC difference between unimodal and bimodal fit; B,F: Relative height of the two modes (abs(0.5-δ)). Dwell-time stretched exponential exponent b, for low (C,G) and high (D,H) energy mode. Left column (panels A–D): System statistics for varying values of the noise parameters η and ρ, with fixed values for the shape parameter λ and bifurcation parameter β. Right column (panels E–H): System statistics for varying values of the shape parameter λ and bifurcation parameter β, with fixed values for the noise parameters η and ρ. White circles indicate the values of the parameters where they are fixed in the complementary panels. Cyan curve indicates theoretical minimum β-value for bistability, showing close agreement with numerical analysis.
