🔬 Is a tracked particle's motion truly "ergodic"? The standard test used in single-particle tracking can be fooled, but this new paper proposes a fix: Swap the usual displacement measure for the mean-squared increment. Read more:

🔬 Is a tracked particle's motion truly "ergodic"? The standard test used in single-particle tracking can be fooled, but this new paper proposes a fix: Swap the usual displacement measure for the mean-squared increment. Read more: ↧ Genuine and Spurious (Non-)Ergodicity in Single Particle Tracking The mean-squared increment is introduced as a new statistic to characterize single-particle positional time series data, providing a more precise and unambiguous method than previous approaches to evaluating ergodicity and helping to discriminate between different classes of stochastic processes.
