📊 Multiple Comparisons Problem
In of simulations, at least one other nurse matched or exceeded the suspect's overlap count.
The "Prosecutor's Gap": Note the distance between the 99th percentile (amber) and the max peak (red). Prosecutors may seize upon this outlier—which occurs naturally in large datasets—and present it as impossible coincidence. But someone will always be the maximum; the question is whether that maximum is unusual given their exposure.
