MemExp analysis of kinetics simulated as a sum of three exponentials with amplitudes that sum to zero. (A) Simulated data with (circles) and without (red line) Gaussian noise added. (B) Lifetime distributions recovered at χ² = 0.850 using a uniform prior model (blue) and using a model bootstrapped from the data by omitting features resolved with the uniform model peaked at log τ < −1.5 (red). Peaks shown as dot-dashed lines correspond to negative amplitudes. Vertical dotted lines indicate the “true” lifetimes.
