Figure 6.3 Distribution of independent lines of progression across various
stages, which depends only on n, u, and t. Here, n = 10 and t = 80. The
stage n = 10 is excluded; that stage causes cancer, and the distributions here
show the stages among individuals who have not had cancer. The panels from
top to bottom correspond to the parameters for the four curves from top to bot-
tom in Figure 6.1a, plus a fifth value of u = 0.1209, corresponding to m = 0.5
and L = 1, for the distribution in the bottom panel of this figure.
