De statistische berekeningen worden gemaakt op basis van resultaten uit betrouwbare studies. De algoritmes extraheren deze gegevens uit de database en berekenen nakansen aan de hand van voorkansen en positieve en negatieve likelihoodratio's. De uitkomst is uiteraard telkens een statistische inschatting en onderhevig aan diverse onzekerheden.
