Comparison of frequency distributions in flow cytometry

Abstract: A number of methods have previously been considered for the statistical comparison of flow cytometric frequency distributions. For two distributions, the foremost of these is the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S) test, which has been criticized as "too sensitive."We discuss some alternative methods based on the Poisson distribution. The assumption of Poisson variation within channels allows the use of channel-by-channel confidence intervals and chi-square tests. These are simple and more appropriate for discrete data t… Show more

“…The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was applied to calculate the D-value (ie, the maximal difference between the test and its negative control). 12 On the basis of expression in normal peripheral blood cells and bone marrow cells, cases with a D-value of >0.3 were considered to be overexpressing ABCG2.…”

“…The increase (1)) MDA-MB-468 cells (23). According to the probability binning (PB) comparison algorithm, the two cell population distributions were different with 99% confidence (P \ 0.01, T(v) 5 2,812), demonstrating statistical significance (24,25). The cell population distributions as observed by the 530 channel were indistinguishable (P 5 0.5, T(v) 5 0), confirming that use of a spectral channel matched to the nanorod excitation peak was essential in observing the labeling.…”
