## S3 method for class 'OTC'
ExpTests(object, ...)

Arguments

object

An object of class "OTC", from which the expected number of tests and expected number of tests per individual are to be extracted.

Additional arguments to be passed to ExpTests (e.g., digits to be passed to round for appropriate rounding).

Value

A data frame containing the columns:

ExpTests

the expected number of tests required by the optimal testing configuration.

ExpTestsPerInd

the expected number of tests per individual for the optimal testing configuration.

PercentReductionTests

The percent reduction in the number of tests; 100 * (1 - ExpTestsPerIndividual).

PercentIncreaseTestCap
