Table 2. Given number of chambers C and counts H ₁ and H ₂ of the positive chambers in a digital array for the target gene and the reference gene, respectively, list of formulas needed to analyze copy number variation.

pˆ _1,Low = pˆ ₁−1.96S ₁, pˆ _1,High = pˆ ₁+1.96S ₁

pˆ _2,Low = pˆ ₂−1.96S ₂, pˆ _2,High = pˆ ₂+1.96S ₂

See the details in the paper for assumptions made so that these equations are close approximations to actual values.
