That paper compares different functional forms for the completion rate vs time, but this paper uses Gaussians for mathematical convenience to find the copy probability vs time. Different functions would make much less difference in the results than the few percent differences between the Gaussian method and those used in Ref.. 10.1901/jeab.2007.70-06
