Figure 12From: Local sequence alignments statistics: deviations from Gumbel statistics in the rare-event tailScaling of the correction parameter λ2 (PAM250). The decay of λ2 with system size shows approximately a power law near the logarithm-linear transition (two smallest gap costs). For this cases the fit to Eq. (19) is shown by a line (α = 11) and dots (α = 13). The lines of the remaining cases are guides to the eye conneting the data points.Back to article page
