- * Single one-way ANOVA was applied to the complete set of data to assess whether both the Serial dilution and the LinReg methods give similar averaged efficiencies (H0: efficiencies are equal, H1: efficiencies are different): a p-value below 0.05 indicates that measured efficiencies are significantly different. **F-test assessing whether the variance (error) induced by each method is the same [H0: variances are equal, H1: var(serial dilution) > var(LinReg)]: p < 0.001 indicates that the variance obtained with the serial dilution is significantly greater than that of LinReg.
