β¦ Synopsis
Statistical methodology plays a key role in ensuring that DNA evidence is collected, interpreted, analyzed and presented correctly. With the recent advances in computer technology, this methodology is more complex than ever before. There are a growing number of books in the area but none are devoted to the computational analysis of evidence. This book presents the methodology of statistical DNA forensics with an emphasis on the use of computational techniques to analyze and interpret forensic evidence.Content:

Statistics and probability play an important role in the interpretation of forensic DNA. Unlike other areas of forensic science, probability is often needed in assessing the weight of DNA evidence probabilities in the magnitude of one in millions or one in billions are commonly heard in court cases.
