List of the sets of coefficients used for generating the simulated intensity distributions for MD and RA processes; coefficients that are not listed equaled zero in that set. We denote the distributions by the process (MD or RA) used to generate them and the number of the coefficient set as listed in the table. 3RA, for example, denotes the distribution generated from the RA basis histograms using the third set of coefficients listed in the table (i.e., with , , , and ).

^*Ratio of the standard deviation to the mean of the resultant distributions, which should be compared to the ratio (0.42) calculated for the simulated single-fluorophore distribution.
