Observed peaks and their simulation: a All trajectories \(S_i(t)\) leading to and from the global maximum \(S_i(t_{\text{peak}}),\) relative to that \(S_i(t)/S_i(t_{\text{peak}}).\) Their mean s are plotted in green (increase) and red (decrease) with the corresponding standard deviation at each point. b Exactly the same plot for the resulting trajectories obtained from a Monte-Carlo simulation of Eq. (9) with parameters: \(\alpha = 3.0,\) \(m=500,\) and \(N = 100\)
