Appendix 1—figure 8. Observed period $T_{\mathrm{0}}$ against chosen period parameter $P$ for a forced oscillator pattern.

Plot of the function for $P$ against the observed lineage correlation function period ${\displaystyle T_0}$ given in Equation M9 (blue line), for an oscillator pattern given in ‘The inheritance matrix model reveals three distinct interdivision time correlation patterns’. We see that $T_0=P$ for ${\displaystyle P>2}$. For chosen $T_0=3$ with $\tau =1$ and various $n$ we see how the parameters $P$ that produce the corresponding ${\displaystyle T_0}$s are directly equal to the possible $T_n$ we can derive from the chosen ${\displaystyle T_0}$ (black points), using Equation 7.
