Although the use of statistics in legal proceedings has considerably grown in the last 40
years, primarily classical statistical methods rather than Bayesian methods have been used …

The field of fingerprinting for personal identification and criminal investigation is progressing
at a rapid rate. Numerous research projects are devoted to fingerprint detection techniques …

The aim of this review is to summarize the forensic science and analytical chemistry
literature related to the comparison of infrared spectra. Most of the peer-reviewed papers …

This Guideline proposes a protocol for the validation of forensic evaluation methods at the
source level, using the Likelihood Ratio framework as defined within the Bayes' inference …

Building on the success of the first Edition—the first pure textbook designed specifically for
students on the subject—Fundamentals of Fingerprint Analysis, Second Edition provides an …

Score based procedures for the calculation of forensic likelihood ratios are popular across
different branches of forensic science. They have two stages, first a function or model which …

The forensic fingerprint community has faced increasing amounts of criticism by scientific
and legal commentators, challenging the validity and reliability of fingerprint evidence due to …

In this article, the performance of a score‐based likelihood ratio (LR) system for comparisons
of fingerprints with fingermarks is studied. The system is based on an automated fingerprint …

This article studies expected performance and practical feasibility of the most commonly
used classes of source-level likelihood-ratio (LR) systems when applied to a trace …

The likelihood ratio paradigm for quantifying the strength of evidence has been researched
in many fields of forensic science. Within this paradigm, score-based approaches for …
