Average plasmid parameter variation.

The table summarizes the intra-cellular (within hosts) and inter-cellular (between hosts) variation of plasmid replication parameters, represented as the standard deviation , averaged over time and across 50 independent stochastic multicellular simulations (the corresponding plasmid parameter averages are shown in Figure 6). The intra-cellular variation is calculated for all plasmids within a host with respect to the host's intra-cellular mean and is averaged across all hosts in the population. The inter-cellular variation is calculated for the intra-cellular means of all hosts with respect to the population's (global) mean.
