Parameters estimated using lineage data of cell length under seven growth conditions.

The mean and standard deviation (upper-right corner) of six variables are given: the birth size Vb, the septation size Vs, the division size Vd, the cell size V, the cell diameter D, and the doubling time T. We perform parameter inference for both model I and model II. The estimation error for each parameter was computed using bootstrap. Specifically, we performed parameter inference 50 times; for each estimation, the theoretical model was fitted to the data of 50 randomly selected cell lineages. The estimation error was then calculated as the standard deviation over the 50 repeated samplings. The estimates of p and g0 are the same for both models and thus we only list their values for model I.
