摘要
The advantage of presenting experimental data in terms of half-life is discussed and a simple method of calculating a half-life from experimental data is described. Two methods of determining the confidence interval associated with the estimate of half-life are given and advantages and disadvantages of each method are discussed. © 1990 Kluwer Academic Publishers bv.
