“…Each ACT droplet contains multiple cells of different types. Since the ADT counts of an ACT droplet equals to the sum of the ADT counts of its member cells, also because the logarithm dampens small-scale changes in the ADT counts (such as log(2 • ) = log( ) + log (2), with ≫ 2), when individual cells merge into an ACT droplet, in the surface marker space, after CLR, the ACT droplet is positioned as slightly exceeding the highest coordinate in each surface marker dimension, across all of its member cells (Xin, et al, 2019). Mathematically, assuming 8 is the set of cells included in an ACT droplet , then the CLR-transformed surface marker count vector 8 of approximately equals…”
