Abstract
Disinfection kinetics may be ascertained from experiments using plate-count (or analogous plaque-count) assays using sequential linear regression, nonlinear least squares regression, or maximum likelihood estimation (assuming Poisson replication errors). In this paper it is demonstrated that the latter procedure produces estimates of inactivation parameters of lesser bias and variance than the other two procedures even when the true between-replicate errors are distributed with variances in excess of the Poisson distribution.
