Table 1: Length, pattern and occurrence of all null-groups in our sample. By definition, events always start and end with nulls. N denotes a null, P a pulse. Symmetric patterns are treated as one: NPNN for example is a combination of NPNN and NNPN. Within a group, observing a pulse is 1.2 times more likely than observing a null.
