Area of Science:

  • Plant Physiology
  • Biophysics
  • Pharmacokinetics

Background:

  • Traditional compartmental analysis relies on visual data selection.
  • This method is less accurate for evaluating treatment effects on compartment parameters.
  • Objective methods are needed for precise parameter determination.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the accuracy of three methods for determining compartmental analysis parameters.
  • To evaluate methods for initial isotopic content and half-time calculations of (86)Rb elution.
  • To assess parameter estimation using theoretical and experimental data.

Main Methods:

  • Visually assisted linear regression on semilog plots.
  • Microcomputer-assisted linear regression maximizing R-squared.

  • Mainframe computer-assisted direct nonlinear regression using a sum of three exponential decay functions.
  • Validation with theoretical data and experimental data from Douglas fir and barley roots.

    • Main Results:

    • The visual method yielded the least accurate compartmental analysis parameters.
    • Microcomputer-assisted and nonlinear regression methods provided equally accurate parameter estimates.
    • Both objective methods demonstrated superior performance compared to the visual approach.

    Conclusions:

    • Objective computational methods are superior to visual selection for compartmental analysis.
    • Microcomputer-assisted and nonlinear regression offer accurate and reliable parameter estimation.
    • These findings support the use of objective methods in plant physiology and pharmacokinetic studies.
