The Role of “Adult‐Onset” Cancer Predisposition Genes in Pediatric Cancer: A Comprehensive Review

open access: yesThe Annals of Mathematical Statistics, 1967
There are fixed sample size methods for estimating the unknown size N of a finite population by tagging the elements of a first sample and then counting the number of tagged elements of a second sample [1, p. 43]. Less well known are sequential methods [2], which have the advantage that the total sample size automatically adjusts itself to the unknown ...
