Nonsymmetric pooling designs (Designs 1, 2, 3) versus symmetric designs (Designs T,I), and random sample, where i1, i2, i3, i4 denotes the individuals and t1, t2, t3, t4 denotes the repeated measurements. R = Var_d(γ̃)/Var_T (γ̃), d= Design d. We evaluate designs with eight assays. In the random design we randomly choose eight (marked) points.
