Procedure to calculate statistics of growth curve parameters

The code is available in the stats_code/ directory.

Statistical tests are performed on each of the extracted growth parameters. The tests are: signtest, t-test, Wilcoxon signed rank test, Kolmogorov-Smirnoff test.

The tests are conducted using R. We compare:

knockout+nutrient with wildtype+nutrient ["k.m.n_w.m.n"]
knockout          with wildtype          ["k.m_w.m"]
knockout+nutrient with knockout          ["k.m.n_k.m"]
wildtype+nutrient with wildtype          ["k.m.n_w.m.n"]
(knockout+nutrient) - (knockout) with (wildtype+nutrient) - (wildtype) ["delta_delta"]

We report for the signtest: number of wells tested, number of successes, p-value.

We report for the t-test: degrees of freedom, t-statistic, p-value.

We report for the Wilcoxon signed rank test: D-statistic, p-value.

We report for the Kolmogorov-Smirnoff test: D-statistic, p-value
