  1. The parameters (ϕ,α) and (p,ϕ,α) are for NB-sim and CP-sim, respectively; σ 2 denotes the random effect variance in either model. The last column shows the number of features (G), strains (S), and biological replicates (R S ) in each simulation. Under each scenario, we simulated data using both NB-sim and CP-sim models. Simulation II and III include 10 replicated synthetic datasets for each case
