Resumen: | One recurring difficulty in ecotoxicological studies is that a substantial portion of concentrations are below the limits of detection established by analytical laboratories. This results in censored distributions in which concentrations of some samples are only known to be below a threshold. The currently available methods have several limitations because they cannot be used with complex situations (e.g., different lower and upper limits in the same dataset, mixture of distributions, truncation and censoring in a single dataset). We propose a versatile method to fit the most diverse situations using conditional likelihood and Bayesian statistics. We test the method with a fictive dataset to ensure its correct description of a known situation. Then we apply the method to a dataset comprising 25 element concentrations analyzed in the blood of nesting marine turtles. We confirm previous findings using this dataset, and we also detect an unexpected new relationship between mortality and strontium concentration |
