Percentage difference between the mean FPT \(E[{T}_{(H,0)}(V)]\) under the Markovian hypothesis and under general distributions G for each budding event (see Fig. 6). A common mean \(\tau =0.5\,h\) has been chosen, with \(\mu =\lambda =0.5\,{h}^{-1}\). The label bimodal refers to a mixture \(qN({\tau }_{1},{\sigma }^{2})+(1-q)N({\tau }_{2},{\sigma }^{2})\) of Gaussian distributions with values \(\sigma =0.05\), \(q=0.26\), \({\tau }_{1}=0.26\,h\) and \({\tau }_{2}=0.58\,h\), so that \(\tau =q{\tau }_{1}+(1-q){\tau }_{2}=0.5\,h\). Dots show the results from stochastic simulations and lines show the theoretical results obtained from our matrix analytic approach.
