Abstract
The statistical analysis of an ionic current signal recorded from a single channel of a biological membrane is presented. We find the main characteristics of the ionic current probability density, the closed- and open-state distributions, and the autocorrelation function of the current recordings by using procedures based on the kernel and tail estimators, the bootstrap methodology; and the Zipf plots. The results provide evidence for the non-Markovian character of the channel kinetics of the investigated data.
