There are three possibilities: Case1: Left end
P-------------- Q-------------------------------------- Case2: Right end P -------------- Q-------------------------------------- Case3: At mid position P ------------- A-------------------------------------- My question is how far my data falls on the all the three cases. Is it biased towards case1 or case2 or case3. I have to consider the length of Q in the data. Example: start2-start1 =2 and end2-end1 = 3 does not make much difference if length of Q is 150000. I do not hypothesize, i want to know how my data goes on.
