REDCE: a computer program for the analysis of red cell survival data.
A computer program for the analysis of red cell survival data is described. Experimental data are used to estimate the parameters of seven models of derived from different hypotheses on the red cell destruction process. The program includes statistical tests for the reliability of the estimated parameter values and the bias due to the poor model. A set of criteria for selecting between models is given. The results obtained from simulated and red data are reported and discussed.
