Description

Competitive This is the most common type of cell type.  The cell type will "compete" with other competitive cell types for events.  Any given event can only belong to one of the competitive cell types.
Use this for most cases.
Selective This special cell type can be used as the first cell type in a model template, and there should be no more than one of them. The selective cell type selects events that will then be considered by the competitive cell types.  It acts much like an initial gate to select cells of interest.
This is not a commonly used type.
Non-competitive A non-competitive cell type is typically the last cell type in a model template.  It is designed to capture all of the events that are not assigned to any of the competitive cell types.  
It is useful for analyzing the unclassified events.
