English: Accuracy of subpopulation determination as quantified by the methods Boxplot1.5 or Boxplot3 from different simulated bimodal populations. This file contains a movie showing the results of Boxplot1.5 and Boxplot3 methods of subpopulation detection tested on simulated bimodal populations with varying subpopulation proportions, standard deviations and set mean difference of 137 (see Methods). Method accuracy is shown as the percentage between estimated and true subpopulation size (z-axis), and as a function of subpopulation standard deviation (x-axis) and subpopulation proportion (y-axis). The 40 different movie image frames show results for different simulated subpopulation mean values. A value of zero indicates that estimated subpopulation size equals true subpopulation size. Negative or positive values indicate under- or over-estimation of subpopulation size in comparison to true subpopulation size, respectively. Instances where the method fails to detect any subpopulation size are indicated as solidly coloured squares at the top surface of the co-ordinate system (also see NA annotations in Figure 7, 9).
