Optimal determination of most probable numbers

International Journal of Food Microbiology, 1990
Choosing the design of a dilution series experiment on the basis of availability of most probable number tables can result in a non-optimal design. Similarly, certain tables and/or rules for declaring dilution series results 'improbable' do not always give optimal decisions. Further, tables of most probable number confidence intervals are not all based

On the estimation of the most probable number in a serial dilution experiment

Communications in Statistics - Theory and Methods, 1978
The purpose of this paper is to present some alternative estimates for the 'most probable number' of bacteria in a serial dilution experiment. These estimates are directed to be less biased than the ordinary maximum likelihood estimate. A numerical example illustrates the extent to which the variance and the mean square error of these estimates are ...

Methods for fitting a parametric probability distribution to most probable number data

International Journal of Food Microbiology, 2012
Every year hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of samples are collected and analyzed to assess microbial contamination in food and water. The concentration of pathogenic organisms at the end of the production process is low for most commodities, so a highly sensitive screening test is used to determine whether the organism of interest is present in
