Table 3. Parameter estimates from fitting the mother-daughter gamma distributions to the cell reproduction data for the YJW512 [PSI +] and [psi ] strains grown in YEPD.

Phenotype λM λD β θ
[ PSI +] Estimate (SE) 1.22 (0.026) 0.21 (0.043) 26.29 (3.509) 0.53 (0.009)
[ psi ] Estimate (SE) 1.16 (0.016) 0.21 (0.030) 31.03 (3.046) 0.55 (0.008)
Combined Estimate (SE) 1.19 (0.015) 0.22 (0.026) 24.69 (21.880) 0.54 (0.007)

Footnote: SE is the standard error, for θ. This is a bootstrap standard error [23] with a bootstrap sample size of 10,000. The derivation of the growth rate or Malthusian parameter θ, is explained in the text.
