Footnote: Shown are parameter estimates from fitting the mother-daughter gamma distributions to the data. SE is the standard error, for θ this is a bootstrap standard error [23], with bootstrap sample size 10,000. The derivation of the growth rate or Malthusian parameter,θ, is explained in the text. q = λD/λM, and is only given for values used in conjunction with curing experiments, as described in the text.
