Description: Weight-of-Evidence for Forensic DNA Profiles, Hardcover by Balding, David J.; Steele, Christopher D., ISBN 111881455X, ISBN-13 9781118814550, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Aimed at helping forensic scientists prepare statements and respond to questioning by judges and lawyers in the US, UK, and Commonwealth legal systems, this guide explains the theory of evidence evaluation for DNA profiles and how to assess DNA evidence. It focuses on general issues related to the measurement of evidential weight, the weight-of-evidence theory based on likelihoods, and alternative probability-based approaches, followed by application of the theory to forensic DNA profiling. It emphasizes the identification of an unknown individual whose DNA profile was recovered from a crime scene, but also discusses profiles with multiple contributors, paternity and other relatedness testing, and profiles subject to drop-out and other consequences of degraded DNA. Discussion includes DNA-based typing technologies, fingerprint evidence, methylation, RNA, and phenotype and ancestry prediction from DNA, as well as relevant population genetics theory. This edition has new chapters on low-template DNA profiling and the software likeLTD for the evaluation of these profiles, as well as updated material on DNA profiling technology, new material on DNA transfer, brief introductions to novel genomics-based and related forensic technologies, simplified material on beta-binomial and multinomial-Dirichlet sampling formulas, and a rewritten section on mixture interpretation. Some knowledge of genetics and statistics is assumed. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR ()
