ATTN: Statistics Ufies	by vectorz	2006-09-18 04:04:33
It really depends on the experiment,	by Jeff_uk	2006-09-18 04:27:34

What about grouping?	by anymouse	2006-09-18 05:53:34
They probably do	by vectorz	2006-09-18 06:59:18
as they are grouped even if they shouldn't. They basically mean that something is messing with one corner of my experiment. I just spent 1.5 hours with my boss 'quicky' discussing possible causes, problems and solutions during the handling (Ok, plate was dirty wasn't on the list, but I'll add that :) ). Some variation will always occur though, as it is a biological assay. But my basic question still is: Should the median or the mean be used in this context? Even the statistics books basically say 'depends on the experiment'. Fine, but based on what should I decide?
