A new probability distribution of the triplet from Patterson function arguments. V.
The physical basis of the conditional probability distributions of the quartet and of the triplet are investigated by means of the 'Patterson' and 'modulus' sum functions, respectively. From this study, a new conditional probability distribution of the triplet follows which has been tested on real data from three structures of different size. The empirically found distribution is compared with Cochran's closely related distribution.
