Table 2.
Maximum percentage difference between, and RSD of, average numbers of observed peaks in c-2D separations with random peak coordinates for all 1nc, 2nc combinations, m, ts/1σ, and nc,2D. Maximums are reported as a function of nc,2D. Values of m associated with maximums are reported. ts/1σ, = 16 in all cases.
