Abstract
A device determines the genotype at selected loci within genetic material obtained from a biological sample. One or more data sets are formed and a set of probability distributions including at least one distribution is established. These distributions associate hypothetical reaction values with corresponding probabilities for each genotype of interest at the same locus or at different loci. The genotype is then determined based on these measures.
