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.
