General software for the analysis of cytofluorimetric data by E-M methods. (English) Zbl 0629.92007

The analysis of cytofluorimetric data is an important tool for the study of cell kinetics. In the present paper we will take into account the problems connected with the analysis of unidimensional data and, in particular, the problem of recovering DNA distribution from cytofluorimetric histograms.
