(20 pts) The data file "exponential-data-1.csv" contains simulated fluorescence decay data that is exchanging between an unknown number of states. Assuming that each state decays independently, then Y=mi=1neRit+b+N(0,) for n states where describes the instrument noise. Using the software of your choice, a) (5 pts) fit models for n between 1 and 5 (5 total models) b) (6 pts) plot (i) the data and (ii) the best fit lines c) (4 pts) report the resulting best-fit values, the summed logL, and the associated AIC for each n d) (5 pts) based on the analysis, how many states (n) would you infer are present and why
