Description Usage Arguments Author(s) See Also Examples

mincontri gives the minimum number of contributors required to explain a forensic DNA mixture. This method is also known as the maximum allele count as it relies on the maximum number of alleles showed through all available loci

1	mincontri(mix, loc = NULL)

`mix`	a `simumix` object
`loc`	the loci to consider for the calculation of the minimum of contributors, default (NULL) corresponds to all loci
