Summary of the empirical datasets and their characteristics

D ataset	Number of partitions			rain	resolution	short description
HR	18 233	0.036	0.036	Not many, but some outliers	sep= (good)	good separation but some crosstalk; RPP30 genomic DNA assay, refer to [21]
MM	14 277	0.28	0.28	Continuous rain	sep=3.30 (medium)	Obvious multimodality; HIV gblock sequences, refer to [22]
LR	22 723	0.69	0.19	Rain mainly along the x-axis	sep=2.34 (poor)	Barely separable on x-axis; The development of assays for the genotyping plants various primers/probes and conditions for each target are evaluated.

and are the average number of target molecules per partition (for target 1 and target 2), see Figure 1 for more details.
