DescriptionFollowing are the S-Plus files (in
ascii format) that were used in conjunction with the time series described in
the paper to generate Figs. 2-8 and Table 2. The file
estimation.q contains
the code to estimate all functions and parameters in the model in Eqs. 5-10. After
execution the list fit.all contains
estimates found on the basis of individual populations, whereas the list
fit.cmb contains
estimates found on the basis of combining the replicates. Note that the S-Plus
code in estimation.q has
to be executed before executing the other S-Plus files described below.
The file testing.q
contains the code to generate the
entries of Table 2, i.e., code for applying the Mann-Whitney U test and
the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test to estimated parameters as described in the paper.

The file plotting.q
contains the code to generate Figs.
2-8 based on the estimates found using estimation.q.
