Table 4.

Mean offsets and standard deviation values for the samples of dwarf galaxies, starbursts and (U)LIRGs derived from the comparison (ΔO/H) between the IR abundances obtained with HCM-IR and the different optical-based methods, namely HCM, the direct method (DM), and the R and S strong-line calibrations from Pilyugin & Grebel (2016).
