- For each of the five estimators of C
q
we have ranked their performance as judged by the standard deviation of replicates (181 sets of replicates, line 1) and by the standard deviation of the estimated slope when C
q
is regressed against log. dilution (23 data sets, line 2). For both approaches the null hypothesis of equal distributions of ranks is rejected. On direct comparison of the best two (Fixed-point vs SDM-l4), Fixed-point has a smaller standard deviation of replicates in 95 of 181 comparisons, and a smaller standard deviation of slopes in 14 of 23 comparisons.
