For the cubic BDIM (d = 3) and for the largest family of size N in each genome, the table shows the probability of formation P(d)(1,N), mean number of events before extinction of the largest family e(d)N; mean number of events before formation of the largest family from a singleton, f(d)N; mean times of formation M(d)N and extinction E(d)N (in 1/λ units); the value of coefficient c(d)du = rdu; mean times of formation T(d)N in Ga (109 yrs) under rdu = 2 × 10-8. The model parameters were the same as for the linear model according to (2.4).
