Extended Data Table 2.
The CCCs are for the relationship between the normalized diversities estimated from the fossil record and those generated by the exponential (Exp) and the logistic (Log) models. The 15 combinations of model parameters that gave the highest CCC for each mass extinction pattern were selected. Of these, the combination that gave the highest CCC for the relationship between the fossil diversities and the diversities generated by the calibrated logistic model was selected as the best (marked in bold) and used by default to run the model.
