Examples of MST and ElPiGraph trajectories inference with different number of nodes. Overestimating node number would cause overbranching, creating branches which does not correspond to the ground truth. On the other hand underestimating would not allow to catch complex enough branching structure. Thus the correct choice of the number of nodes is important. (A) Application of MST-based approach. (B) ElPiGraph produces correct trajectories for much wider range of main input parameter (node number) than MST.
