@conduit242 @EvMill Getting an accurate estimate of the "unobserved" events is quite difficult -- in fact it is not possible to derive a deterministic unbiased estimate See proofs in https://t.co/2uU1UeDXN9 What @EvMill proposed is similar to a Robbins

@BioMickWatson @BioMickWatson you may want to look into Poissonization. At the end of the day, you just want to estimate the total number of species right? This turns out to be highly non-trivial, but see below for a randomized algorithm https://t.co/malp
