Figure 3. Numerical tests of mean field theory.

Figure 3

A: Three components of Inline graphic as functions of Inline graphic for a symmetric template model for which the mean field theory is exact. The rates were given by Inline graphic, Inline graphic, Inline graphic, and Inline graphic for Inline graphicA, U, G, C. Lines are from Eq. (40). Symbols are from numerical simulations. B: Test of site-independence for the sequence distribution, Eq. (35), with pol Inline graphic rates (Table 2F). All symbols were calculated from numerical simulations. C–D: Mean velocity (C) and error rate (D) for the pol Inline graphic kinetics, both with full experimental kinetics (Table 2) and Jukes-Cantor version (JC) derived from the full kinetic set. Symbols are from simulations, which verify that for JC kinetics the mean field prediction is exact.
