A GENERAL APPROACH TO COMPUTE THE PROBABILITIES OF UNRESOLVED CLONES IN RANDOM POOLING DESIGNS
F. K. Hwang, Yu‐Chi Liu · Probability in the Engineering and Informational Sciences · 2004
In this paper, we develop a general approach to compute the probabilities of unresolved clones in random pooling designs. This unified and systematic approach gives better insight for handling the dependency issue among the columns and among the rows. Consequently, we identify some faster computation formulas for four random pooling designs proposed in the literature, and we derive some probability distribution functions of the number of unresolved clones that were not available before.
