A Poisson model for the coverage problem with a genomic application
覆盖问题的 Poisson 模型及其基因组应用
Suppose a population has infinitely many individuals and is partitioned into unknown N disjoint classes. The sample coverage of a random sample from the population is the total proportion of the classes observed in the sample. This paper uses a nonparametric Poisson mixture model to give new understanding and results for inference on the sample coverage. The Poisson mixture model provides a simplified framework for inferring any general abundance‐K coverage, the sum of the…
