Non-Gaussianity in single-particle tracking: Use of kurtosis to learn the characteristics of a cage-type potential

Nonlinear interaction of membrane proteins with cytoskeleton and membrane leads to non-Gaussian structure of their displacement probability distribution. We propose a statistical analysis technique for learning the characteristics of the nonlinear potential from the time dependence of the cumulants...
