We also present a novel statistical algorithm for analysis of detection/discovery arrays, which combines a predictive model of probe hybridization with a greedy likelihood maximization procedure to identify the combination of targets in a complex sample that best explains the observed probe intensity pattern. We developed a novel statistical method for detection array analysis, by modeling the likelihood of the observed probe intensities as a function of the combination of targets present in the sample, and performing greedy maximization to find a locally optimal set of targets; the details of the algorithm are shown in Methods. ./cache/cord-321432-qi2knswx.txt ./txt/cord-321432-qi2knswx.txt
