Table 5 Mean true positive rate and rank accordance rate in Mycoplasma genitalium.

From: Pattern statistics on Markov chains and sensitivity to parameter estimation

Markov order	1	2	3	4	5	6
TP rate	95.5%	93.6%	90.4%	81.8%	66.0%	25.0%
RA rate	92.6%	85.4%	79.8%	66.5%	45.1%	11.0%
× 10³	48.33	12.08	3.02	0.76	0.19	0.05

Both quantities are estimated with 1 000 simulations. We consider the 1 00 most over-represented octamers, the sequence length is ℓ = 580076. The last row gives the sample size per free parameter (length n of the sequence divided by the number k^m(k - 1) of parameters).
