Figure 48: Soil displacement vs. depth on clay soil for individual treatments fitted with<br />

linear regressions<br />

Therefore linear regression functions were chosen to evaluate the single treatments on the<br />

different soils as overall they showed the same R 2 than more complicated functions and<br />

allowed simple comparisons.<br />

4.1.1.1 Clay Soil<br />

Figure 49 shows the movement of the fishing hooks vs. depth. From this graph it would be<br />

difficult to detect differences between single treatments. Therefore a statistical regression<br />

analysis for the movement of the fishhooks was carried out and revealed significant differ-<br />

ences in the slope and intercept of the regression lines for the clay.<br />

The parameters of a statistical regression analysis are shown in Table 12. Take note that in<br />

the diagrams the depth is used as the dependent variable, yet the statistical analysis was<br />

carried out with the soil displacement depending on depth (Eq. 1) whereby the slope s of<br />

the line represents the density increase of the soil.<br />

Table 12 clearly shows that all slopes were negative and all intercepts were positive indi-<br />

cating soil displacement below every single treatment. This was confirmed as for all CI the<br />

lower and upper boundary had the same algebraic sign. The slope and intercept were simi-<br />

lar for the two tracks, as were the two normal tyre treatments. The replications of the track<br />

and the tyre overlap with their confidence intervals but none of the means was included in<br />

the CI of the other treatment and hence they could be regarded as statistically significantly
