  1. a (resp. b) represents the number of sequences of (resp. \(\mathcal {N}\)) that contain at least one occurrence of the motif m. c (resp. d) represents the number of other sequences in \(\mathcal {P}\) (resp. \(\mathcal {N}\)). Those four values are used to estimate the joint probabilities P(O i ,C j ) as well as the marginal probabilities P(O i ) and P(C j )
