A) Profile showing the probability that an event is added, given the parameters listed in Table 1 and assuming . The preceding event is denoted using a heavy black dot, the event to be potentially added is characterised by its temporal distance,
, and feature distance,
, from the previous event. B) Profile showing the probability that an event is omitted, given the parameters listed in Table 1 and assuming
. C) The role of
when segregation is discovered first. Top: the input sequence. Below: Once the A−← chain is discovered, A is predicted by one chain and B is not predicted, so
in the exclusion formula for excluding A from a chain currently ended by B. This difference thus facilitates the construction of −B−−←, because the A events are easy to exclude. D) The role of
when integration is discovered first. Top: the input sequence. Middle: When the ABA−← chain is discovered, both A and B are predicted by one chain, so
. Bottom: However, once A−← is also discovered, A is predicted by two chains and B is predicted by one chain. Thus,
, again facilitating the construction of −B−−←.
