(a) Plots showing the behavior of the MP coefficients as a function of iteration number. This representation was used to find an appropriate number of iterations in our MP analysis. was set equal to the average number of iterations required for the coefficients to reach less than of their initial value. (b) The values represent the statistical significance of the normalized expansion coefficient at each iteration. The vertical dashed lines mark the significance thresholds of 0.05, 0.01, and 0.005.
