Abstract
Described is a method that utilizes the decision-making capability of a digital computer to detect and correct probable errors in algal cell counts used for synchrony index computations. The computer uses appropriate criteria to identify and alter points on a log cell number versus time plot incongruous with neighboring points. Repeated simulations have been employed to test the effectiveness of the method in eliminating the positive bias in index values computed from imprecise counts. The effectiveness of the method has been found to vary inversely with the degree of synchrony in an algal culture—the less the synchrony, the more the remaining bias.
