چکیده

drop plate technique has a priority and preference compared with the spread plate procedure, because of less time, quantity of media, effort requirement, little incubator space, and less labor intensive. the objective of this research was to compare the accuracy and fidelity of drop plate method vs. spread plate method by parametric and nonparametric statistical tests. for bacterial enumeration by drop and spread plate methods, successive dilutions of second subculture of lactobacillus casei and salmonella typhimurium were transferred to selective agar. the correlation of agreement between both methods was evaluated by using statistical proofs. results showed that mean value (parametric unpaired t-test) comparison at 95 percent confidence level did not reject null hypothesis, which it meant that the equality of the mean data could not be ruled out. nonparametric method was used because of approximately gaussian pattern of data distribution. for this purpose, mann-whitney test (equivalent nonparametric t-test) was used. it meant that the equality of medians obtained from two methods were similar. spearman’s rho correlation coefficient (r) via both methods due to data distribution patterns for enumeration of s. typhimurium and l. casei were 0.62 and 0.87, respectively; which represented moderately strong and strong relationship between two methods, respectively. besides, there was a significant and strong positive correlation (p < 0.001) between spread and drop plate procedures. because of aforementioned reasons, the spread plate method can be replaced by drop plate method.

Parametric and nonparametric tests for genetic association studies

Correlation among multiple complex traits has been believed to have a significant impact on genetic association testing. However, such correlation is difficult to account for in both genetic association studies and statistical methodologies. For complex diseases, especially mental illnesses and behavioral disorders, the traits are often measured on an ordinal scale. Although proportional odds l...

Analysis of Speckled Imagery with Parametric and Nonparametric Tests

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has a pivotal role as a remote imaging method. Obtained by means of coherent illumination, SAR images are contaminated with speckle noise. The statistical modelling of such contamination is well described according the multiplicative model and its implied G distribution. The understanding of SAR imagery and scene element identification is an important objective in...
