Greetings everyone,
This is off topic for this board, but I figured with the math background of individuals on this board I could get some light shed on this.
I'm trying to understand what mean log reduction is. I understand basic log reduction, i.e. log 10 reduction of 2 etc.. Another equation is used primarily in microbiological kill analysis called mean log reduction. Google hits about 2,000 references to people talking about mean log reduction but I cannot find anywhere which explains the equation to figure mean log reduction.
Any ideas?
TIA,
Greg
