TABLE 2.

The relevant parameters for the β–particle tracks per cell in a track autoradiography experiment (18) by employing the Poisson, LN and P – LN functions along with the quantities of statistical tests (χ̂2 and/or R2) for the stirred and unstirred mixture.

Type Predicted function <n> σ§ v χ̂2 R2
Stirred mixture Poisson 8.7 22 0.15
LN 8.7 0.70 20 0.0071
P – LN 8.7 0.80 20 0.0064
LS fit to LN 12 ± 1.4 0.79 ± 0.075 20 0.0048 0.79

Unstirred mixture Poisson 7.8 21 0.99
LN 7.8 0.67 20 0.0077
P – LN 7.8 0.68 20 0.0046
LS fit to LN 8.2 ± 0.37 0.57 ± 0.033 20 0.018 0.93

The value of arithmetic mean (<n>) and the shape parameter (σ) are obtained from the raw data of (18) and the minimization of χ̂2 value, respectively.

‡, §

and the Standard Errors are as described in Table 1.
