title: Application of jackknife procedures to inter-experiment comparisons of parameter estimates for the Michaelis-Menten equation.
abstract: The jackknife procedure is introduced as a means of making comparisons among Michaelis-Menten parameter estimates for six different experimental conditions. In addition to providing a solution to the general inter-experimental comparison problem, the jackknife procedure will provide valid parameter estimates even when some of the assumptions usually required for statistical analysis are violated, e.g., the random errors are not normally distributed and the variances are not homogeneous. Other recent variations of the jackknife have also been introduced and briefly investigated: (i) the linear jackknife, which is more efficient computationally, and (ii) the weighted jackknife, which reduces the influence of design points (substrate concentrations) that have an excessive influence on the precision of parameter estimates.
