Statistical Analysis of the Recovery of Coliform Organisms on Gelman and Millipore Membrane Filters

RESUMO
The recovery of coliform organisms on Gelman and Millipore membranes was analyzed by using both a model I (which assumes no error in the x variable) and model II (which allows errors in both the variables) regression analysis. The two models afford estimates of the slope which agree within their 95% confidence limits. Using equations derived in this paper, the model II confidence limits on the intercept are obtained. This range does not include the model I intercept limits, thereby demonstrating the differences between results from an incorrect (model I) and correct (model II) approach. In addition, fecal coliform show no differences in response to the two membranes, whereas total coliform exhibit higher recoveries on Gelman membranes.
