Abstract
The Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) is a statistical method for the analysis of samples from random processes. First developed for the analysis of econometric data, the method is here formulated to extract hidden kinetic parameters from measurements of single molecule dwell times. Our method is based on the analysis of cumulants of the measured dwell times. We develop a general form of an objective function whose minimization can return estimates of decay parameters for any number of intermediates directly from the data. We test the performance of our technique using both simulated and experimental data. We also compare the performance of our method to nonlinear least-squares minimization (NL-LSQM), a commonly-used technique for analysis of single molecule dwell times. Our findings indicate that the GMM performs comparably to NL-LSQM over most of the parameter range we explore. It offers some benefits compared with NL-LSQM in that it does not require binning, exhibits slightly lower bias and variance with small sample sizes (N<20), and is somewhat superior in identifying fast decay times with these same low count data sets. Additionally, a comparison with the Classical Method of Moments (CMM) shows that the CMM can fail in many cases, whereas the GMM always returns estimates. Our results show that the GMM can be a useful tool and complements standard approaches to analysis of single molecule dwell times.
