It is clear from Figure that distances decrease with increasing transition lengths. We further investigated the effect of two other NEQ parameters on this phenomenon. Figure displays the dependence of distances on the ensemble size of the end-point simulations as well as the number of transitions per end-point replica (denoted as "trns/rep") for a subset of systems used for extended studies. As expected, we see that distance values reduce on increasing ensemble size as well as trns/rep.
