TABLE 2.
Comparison of 95% confidence intervals for fitted parameter values between general 3-region model and the modified 3-region model with PO2 in region 2 set to zero. These fits were determined for the 25 profiles with anoxic regions. Differences between the confidence intervals for each parameter were tested using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.
