 | | The arithmetic mean is well suited to the analysis of data that is collected on a linear scale, while as a general rule, the geometric mean is better suited for use with data collected with a logarithmic amplifier. |
 | | This correlation of the data allows the data to be plotted in multi-dimensional space, an attribute which is utilised in many analyses where one wishes to calculate the relative amount of an attribute A compared to attribute B or C. Histogram analysis: |
 | | This type of data, where the test sample shows a comparitively small shift in the relative fluorescence, is well suited to histogram subtraction, as opposed to a "set marker" type approach, as one has difficulty with this type of experiment in clearly deciding where a marker could, or should be set. |
