MaSTR Online Help : Analyzing DNA Mixtures in MaSTR : Generating an Analysis Report : To generate an Analysis report
To generate an Analysis report
1. On the Analysis page, click the name of the analysis for which you are creating the analysis report.
The Analysis Information page opens.
2. In the left section of the Analysis Information page, click Create Report.
The Analysis Report page opens. The page lists all the sections that can be included in the Analysis report. By default, all sections are selected.
3. Select or clear the report selections as appropriate.
 
 
Because the size of the downloaded report can increase exponentially the greater the number of sections that are selected, you should generate and download only those report sections that are relevant to your analysis.
 
Section
Description
Analysis Summary
Selected information from the Summary tab of the Analysis Information page. See Analysis Information page, Summary tab.
Likelihood Ratio Summary
The tabulated summary of the information that is found on the Likelihood Ratios tab of the Analysis Information page. See Analysis Information page, Likelihood Ratios tab.
Convergence Summary
Generation of the Convergence (5th) column of the Stats & Convergence table on the Continuous tab of the Analysis Information page. See Analysis Information page, Continuous tab.
Analysis Template
Details all the options that were selected for the analysis template.
Frequency
The information that is found on the Frequency Information page of the analysis frequency. See Viewing the Information for a Frequency.
Panel
The information that is found on the Markers tab of the Panel Information page for the analysis panel. See Viewing the Information for a Panel.
Panel Alleles
The information that is found on the Alleles tab of the Panel Information page for the analysis panel. See Viewing the Information for a Panel.
System Parameters
Selected information from the Summary tab of the System Parameters Information page. See To view the system parameters estimation results.
Stutter
The information that is found on the Stutter Table tab of the System Parameters Information page for the analysis parameters set. See To view the system parameters estimation results.
Genotype Set Weights
A table of weighted genotypes for the analysis markers.
Genotype Probabilities
A table that details the relative probability of different genotype combinations for each marker based on how frequently these combinations were accepted during the MCMC process.
Likelihood Ratios
Organized by population.
• The first entry for each LR report is the Overall Likelihood Ratio which indicates the overall likelihood that the selected individual is a contributor to the mixture versus a random contributor from the general population.
• The remaining entries for each LR report details H1/H2 using weighted genotypes.
Continuous Variables
Generation of the mean, median, and standard deviation columns of the Stats & Convergence table on the Continuous tab on the Analysis Information page. See Analysis Information page, Continuous tab.
Continuous Variable Plots
The Ratio plots and the Degradation Variable plots, shown in three plots (Trace, Aggregate, and Approximation of Actual Values) on the Continuous Variables tab of the Analysis Information page. See Analysis Information page, Continuous tab.
Genotype Probability Plots
A heat map of weighted genotypes for each marker. Each map shows the relative probability of different genotype combinations based on how frequently these combinations were accepted during the MCMC process. See Analysis Information page, Genotypes tab.
Continuous Variable Convergence Plots
The Ratio and Degradation Variable Convergence plots. See Analysis Information page, Continuous tab.
Genotype Convergence Plots
The two genotype plots (Genotype Convergence and Genotype Set Convergence) per marker on the Genotypes tab of the Analysis Information page. See Analysis Information page, Genotypes tab.
Likelihood Ratio Convergence Plots
The Overall Log LR vs Iteration plot per POI on the Likelihood Ratios tab on the Analysis Information page. See Analysis Information page, Likelihood Ratios tab.
Stutter Plots
The information that is found on the Stutter Plots tab of the System Parameters Information page for the analysis system parameters set. See To view the system parameters estimation results.
Signal Plots
A Signal file lists the alleles for specific individuals at the loci that are being tested and the signal (peak) height for each allele. The Signal plot shows the signal height for the alleles as a histogram.
4. Click Generate.
A message opens informing you that generating the report might take a few minutes and asking you if you want to continue.
5. Click OK.
The Generate Report message closes. The Analysis report is generated as a PDF and is automatically saved in the Downloads directory on the MaSTR Windows client. The report also opens in its own browser tab. The report has the following characteristics:
• The report file name is always set to MaSTR Software Report.pdf but after you download the report, you can save it with a different name and in a location of your choosing.
• “MaSTR Software Report” is also displayed on the report cover page followed by the analysis name.
• An “out of the box” Analysis report displays the SoftGenetics company logo on the report cover page and the company name in the Created by footer, but your MaSTR administrator has the option of replacing the name and logo with your organization’s name and logo before you generate the report. (See Managing your MaSTR Application Settings.)
