Square root biased sampling

Press developed square root biased sampling as a way to sample long sequences of DNA. An even earlier discovery was by Martin L. Shooman, who used square root biased sampling in a test apportionment model for software reliability. Press' later proposal to use square root biased sampling for airport security was published in 2009. However, use of this method presupposes that those doing the screening have accurate statistical information on who is more likely to be a security risk, which is not necessarily the case. ==See also==
