computePOD {POD}

Compute the Probability Of Detection (POD)

Description

Compute the Probability Of Detection (POD) in qualitative PCR experiments carried out by a single laboratory.

Usage

computePOD(x, lambda = 1, b = 1)

Arguments

x

Nominal DNA concentrations (numeric vector)

lambda

The fraction of detected DNA fragments (numeric scalar)

b

correction parameter (numeric scalar)

Value

The POD function as described in Uhlig et al., 2015
