the sub-bursts acceptor counts $n_a$ can be modeled as a binomial-distributed random variable   $N_a \sim \operatorname{B}(n, E)$, where $n$ is the number of photons in each burst chunk and   $E$ is the estimated population FRET efficiency.   Note that we can replace E with PR, use *PR* in place of *E*  since the detected counts are partitioned between donor and acceptor channel channels  according to a binomial distribution with a $p$ parameter equal to PR *PR*  (regardless of the molecular FRET efficiency). efficiency *E*).  The only approximation done here is neglecting the presence background  (a reasonable approximation since the backgrounds counts are in general a   very small fraction of the total counts).
