Parameter | Definition | Phase |
---|---|---|
N | number of cells at risk for accumulating oncogenic mutations | pre-initiation |
D | division rate of cells at risk for accumulating oncogenic mutations | pre-initiation |
u | overall mutation probability per cell division | both |
α 1, β 1 | shape parameters of mutational fitness kernel | pre-initiation |
b, d | birth/death rate of cell initiating clonal expansion | clonal expansion |
α 2, β 2 | shape parameters of mutational fitness kernel | clonal expansion |
N d | number of cells at time of detection | clonal expansion |
