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)

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.

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.
