- danieltillett 7y agoYes that is true, but when the case rate is low this is not a common problem. The ideal size of the grid is adjusted to expected case rate. If you get ambiguity then you just move those samples across to a new grid (in locations that won’t be ambiguous) and test again.
- nroets 7y agoHas anyone used it to better estimate size of the infected population, like a statistical binary search combined with random sampling ? Here in South Africa, we are really unsure if our lockdown is having the a meaningful effect.
