Description

Demonstrate that the average phasor coordinates for wider distributions of lifetimes lie further inside the universal semicircle compared to the narrower distributions.

Use gamma distributions for lifetimes.

Make the lifetimes and frequencies used throughout the tutorial more consistent.

Very interesting @cgohlke, I think it is useful to show so that people have this in mind. Also, can this be related to the method used for center calculation? I think since the average is more sensible to outliers than the median, it may be a similar concept. Maybe I can think of something similar to add to the tutorial to show this effect also

I think this is the detail that @lmalacrida was bringing up when we discussed the SimFCS method of the FRET calculator. It also gives an idea how far from the universal circle distributions of a single component are.

Also, can this be related to the method used for center calculation?

I have not thought about that...
