- The table shows how the performance of ERS and CRS model is changing when we increase the initial number of pathogens. The unit of time is one-tenth of a day; f cells: the initial number of foreign cells at the 300th day; div time: the mean waiting time between two divisions of a foreign cell; ERS wins: number of wins of the immune system against pathogens using the ERS model setting; CRS wins: number of wins of the immune system against pathogens using the CRS model setting; ratio: ERS wins divided per CRS wins; p-value: one-sided p-value of the Fisher’s exact test. In every case ERS performed significantly better than CRS
