What Is the Relationship between Pool Fee and Pool Size in PPS Systems?

There is generally an inverse relationship. Larger PPS pools can afford to charge a lower fee because they benefit from the law of large numbers, which reduces their variance risk and the required size of their reserve fund.

Smaller pools must charge a higher fee to compensate for their higher block discovery variance and the greater risk they absorb.
