the distribution of five DD parameters including (a)
, (b)
, (c)
, (d)
, and (e)
within each group over the entire sample set. The horizontal back lines over each sub-plot shows a statistically-significant (p<0.05) difference between any two groups using a specific parameter. For example, the horizontal line between H and PT groups in (b) means that the difference between the
values of all samples in H and PT categories is statistically significant.
