Sample sizes needed for 95% probability to find all sequence copies
| xobs | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| n | 5 | 8 | 11 | 14 | 17 | 20 | 23 | 26 | 28 |
Sample sizes (n) needed for P (x = xobs) > 0.95 calculated from a discrete uniform prior of x on {1, 2, . . ., 10} where xobs correspond to the observed number of sequence variants and n to the number of sampled PCR fragments.
