I'm Really Really Fast
This color coded indicator indicates the DNA profile generated contains quality score flags, which.
What is a yellow checkmark?
This is the pre-check of the data entered into the software and the MCMC process.
What is Burn In?
This process proposes genotype combinations and biological parameters to best describe the profile obtained.
What is deconvolution?
STRmix™ is used to calculate this key statistical value in DNA mixture interpretation.
What is a likelihood ratio (LR)?
This conclusion is reached when the reference sample is not represented in the evidence sample.
What is excluded?
This chemistry, utilized in the Rapid Sample Cartridge's, amplifies 24 short tandem repeats using 6 dye channels.
What is ACE Globalfiler Express?
The initial _________ accepts are discarded during the burn-in phase. (What Number)
The initial 100,000 accepts
An Indication on how peaks paired together throughout the profile. This parameter is optimized in Model Maker
What is Allelic Variance?
These population-based values are essential for accurate statistical calculations.
What are allele frequencies?
When an evidence profile is too partial or too complex, this conclusion may be reached.
What is unsuitable for comparison?
This analysis software is used to visualize the electropherogram for Rapid samples.
What is GeneMarker?
The total amount of DNA product after PCR made up by the genuine allele plus its stutter by product.
What is Total Allelic Product?
One or more chains has become stuck in different parts of the probability space is represented by what diagnostic?
What is Gelman - Rubin?
Method of calculating an LR distribution which a quantile can then be chosen from in order to report a probability interval (credible interval)
What is Highest Posterior Density?
What is dropout?
These loci are missing from a sample processed with Rapid (in comparison to Fusion 6C).
What are Penta E and Penta D.
This is developed during the 'profile building stage' of deconvolution and then compared to the observed profile.
What is the expected profile?
This principle, incorporated in version 2.6 of STRmix will prevent large peak imbalances at low expected peak heights from being as equally likely as small differences between observed and expected peaks
What is the Taylor Quantum Effect?
Abbreviated MHA, this considers whether to step to the proposed state or stay in the current state.
What is Metropolis Hasting Algorithm?
This aspect of a DNA profile is manually assessed by the analyst and entered into STRmix. STRmix cannot function without this input.
What is Number of Contributors?
This letter is used at the beginning of specimen IDs for standards that are entered to CODIS.
What is 'R'?
This diagnostic is a summary of fit of the modeled or expected profile compared with the observed profile. This is averaged across all chains for all iterations of the post burn-in phase of the MCMC.
What is average log(likelihood)?
STRmix uses this type of distribution for drop in
What is a gamma distribution?
This likelihood ratio takes into account relatives in the pool of unknown contributors
What is the Unified LR?
Genotype sets that best explain the observed data are given a numerical value called what
What are weights?
