Table C.1.

Fractions (ratios of numbers of carcasses having identified characteristics). The group of carcasses counted in each numerator is a subgroup of the carcasses counted in the corresponding denominator so that the corresponding fraction lies between 0 and 1

Fraction	Characteristics of carcasses counted in the denominator	Additional characteristics of carcasses counted in the numerator
fA	Lesions would be detected if PMI at time 0 (no delay)	Lesions would still be detected if PMI at time 24 h/72 h
fA*	Lesions would be detected if PMI at time 0 (no delay) and lab test would be positive if carried out without delay and still be positive if carried out at t 24/72 h	Lesions would still be detected if PMI at time t 24/72 h
fB	Lesions would be detected if PMI at time 0 (no delay) and lab test would be positive if carried out without delay	Lab test would still be positive if carried out at t 24/72 h
fD	Lesions would be detected if PMI at time 0 (no delay) and lab test would be positive if carried out without delay	Lesions would still be detected if PMI at time t 24/72 h and the lab test would still be positive if carried out at t 24/72 h
