Performance of modeling method using different combinations of parameters p and q. The modeling method described in this study was tested on the 16iDC data set using different combinations of partitions (5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500), and quantiles (0.01, 0.02, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 0.8, 0.9, 0.95, 0.98 and 0.99). For all 77 analyzed combinations of p and q regression lines were fitted to the data as described in the text. Goodness of fit was evaluated from the resulting slope (panel A), intercept (panel B) and adjusted r2 (panel C).
