Fit parameter of the modified Gumbel distribution. CSV file (tabulator separated) of fit parameters of the modified Gumbel distribution Eq. (18) using different scoring matrices (BLOSUM62 and (PAM250) and gap costs. 10⁴ describes the estimated value of λ₂using the scaling relation Eq. (19) (for small gap costs only).
