Q: What is TH in the simulations output?

[ArnauMontagud]

Hi, and thanks to get in touch!
TH stands for Transition Entropy and is a way to measure how deterministic the dynamics is. The full details can be seen here.

In short, H (entropy) and TH can help characterize the stationary distribution and differentiate between a fixed point (zero entropy and zero transition entropy) and a cyclic stationary distribution (non-zero entropy and zero transition entropy).

Best regards,
Arnau

Thank you for your reply!
A follow-up question: If TH alone is available, does the value suffice to discriminate between fixed points or cycles? (Could you explain a bit more how to make use of TH retrieved from the PROFILE pipeline?)

[ArnauMontagud]

I think not, you need both. But, in any case, if you are simulating with MaBoSS, you have both values on the probtraj files.
Let's discuss this online, it may be more convenient.

Thank you!
