Probabilistic genotyping has become widespread. EuroForMix and DNAStatistX are both
based upon maximum likelihood estimation using a γ model, whereas STRmix™ is a …

Abstract Machine learning (ML) is a range of powerful computational algorithms capable of
generating predictive models via intelligent autonomous analysis of relatively large and …

To answer the question “Are low likelihood ratios reliable?” requires both a definition of
reliable and then a test of whether low likelihood ratios (LRs) meet that definition. We offer …

Continuous probabilistic genotyping (PG) provides a means to estimate the probative value
of DNA mixtures tendered as evidence in court and subject to alternative propositions about …

Abstract In 2014, the UK Forensic Science Regulator (FSR) commissioned a collaborative
trial to assess the methods used by forensic service providers (FSPs) in the UK and Ireland …

It is routinely assumed when interpreting forensic DNA profiles that peaks of the same
molecular size, whether allelic or stutter in origin,'stack'. That is, the height of a composite …

Continuous probabilistic genotyping (PG) systems are becoming the default method for
calculating likelihood ratios (LRs) for competing propositions about DNA mixtures …

The likelihood ratio (LR) is a commonly used measure for determining the strength of
forensic match evidence. When a forensic expert determines a high LR for DNA found at a …

The complexity of interpreting forensic DNA stains from multiple donors, often a cacophony
of signals arising from unknown numbers of contributors (NOC), artifacts, and noise …

Interpreting Complex Forensic DNA Evidence is a handy guide to recent advances—and
emerging issues—in interpreting complex DNA evidence and profiles for use in criminal …
