Abstract: | Statistical interpretation of results of experiments involving unscheduled DNA synthesis is examined from a design standpoint. Most appropriate methods currently in use are evaluated and some modifications and extensions are suggested. Concerns about replication and/or interaction errors are evaluated and methods for their appropriate handling are discussed. It is suggested that methods incorporating both dose-response and heterogeneity statistics should be considered in treating results from unscheduled DNA synthesis experiments. Proper designs for such experiments are emphasized.Abbreviations ANOVA analysis of variance - MSE mean square error - UDS unscheduled DNA synthesis |
