Figure 4.

The graph shows the positive probability functions (PPFs) for the test functions A, B and C. The graph depicts the relative frequency of virus particles identified correctly by the procedure at a certain matching value. For comparison an ideal method providing complete separation between true and false structures would result in a Heaviside step function at some threshold value.
