germinationcount.test: Germination Count Range Test for Seed Sample Heterogeneity
Description
A test based on the exact probability distribution of the germination count range, i.e, the difference between germination count of seed samples.
Usage
germinationcount.test(r, nsamples, n, N, K)
Value
A list of
R.value
integer; the input R-value (r).
p.value
numeric; the exact p-value.
germination.rate
numeric; the germination rate of the seed lot, calculated as the ration of K and N.
Arguments
r
an integer representing the germination count difference between seed samples.
nsamples
an integer representing the number of seed samples.
n
an integer representing the number of seeds per sample.
N
an integer representing the size (number of seeds) of the seed lot.
K
an integer representing the number of germinating seeds in the seed lot.
