Under these test conditions, the use of the "cone-tainer" method provided estimates of toxicity consistent with those from plants grown in assemblages, and potential interactions between plants were not found to modify the response of macrophytes to atrazine.
The graphical plasma input method and the graphical reference tissue method provided estimates of the binding potential that correlated closely, but differed in magnitude.
The quick method provided estimates that deviated from the pixel count method by <1 day in 7 of 11 trials (64%).
The discrete method provided estimates of lifetime of 6.21 ± 1.25 ns and 4.55 ± 1.64 ns for the data in Figs. 3b and 3d respectively, whereas the continuous method provides estimates of 6.20 ± 1.44 ns and 4.88 ± 2.39 ns, respectively (photon counts 1015 and 84).
These are also presented in Fig. 2. The discrete method provided estimates of lifetime of 3.2 ± 0.9 ns and 3.6 ± 1.8 ns for the data in Figs. 2c and 2d respectively, whereas the continuous method provides estimates of 1.8 ± 0.3 ns and 1.9 ± 1.4 ns (photon counts 1467 and 1078).
Overall, predictions produced by the Sun equation, which, although still producing an error larger than the BIS methods, provides estimates closest to the reference dilution values.
The reason is that this method provides estimates in closed form while a grid-search is needed with MUSIC.
The HQRPLN method provides estimates closer to the true values as compared to the Chambers et al. (2014) method, and the Machados and Santos Silva (2005) method, which tends to overestimate β1.
In settings for which patient risk can be objectively estimated, this method provides estimates of the risk threshold for individual physicians using only their treatment recommendations.
For the temporal method, at least two samples are required, preferably separated by multiple generations, while the LD method provides estimates based on a single sample.
