Table 1.
Comparison of shortcuts observed with expected proportions of shortcuts given random pairings of forward and backward replays.
| Sequence type | Expected (E) probability | Bootstrap probability | Observed (O) probability | Significance of O-E difference (binomial test) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Disjoint sequences | 20/32 = 62.5% | 64% | 0/19 = 0% | 8 × 10−9 |
| Non-shortcut sequences | 8/32 = 25% | 24% | 3/19 = 15% | 0.15 |
| Shortcut sequences | 4/32 = 12.5% | 12% | 16/19 = 84% | 2 × 10−12 |
| Shortcut sequences under back-to-back replay theory | 4/12 = 33.3% | 33% | 16/19 = 84% | 7 × 10−6 |
