A validation framework for microbial forensic methods based on statistical pattern recognition

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/923990· OSTI ID:923990
This report discusses a general approach to validating microbial forensic methods that attempt to simultaneously distinguish among many hypotheses concerning the manufacture of a questioned biological agent sample. It focuses on the concrete example of determining growth medium from chemical or molecular properties of a bacterial agent to illustrate the concepts involved.
