Statistical Analysis of The Amerithrax Morph Assays: Fat Tails and the "False Negative" Rate
- Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), Livermore, CA (United States)
The Purpose of this report is to examine in some detail the the consequences of these conventions on the interpretation of the morph assays. In particular we are interested in explaining the large number of observed negative and "inconclusive" findings among the RMR-1029 replicates, and exploring the basis for estimating the probability that a repository sample could contain a morph at concentrations well above the nominal detection limit but nonetheless give a negative or inconclusive test result. In the next section we briefly describe the assay characterization process and interpretation criteria used by the various assay developers.
