Impact of allelic dropout on evidential value of forensic DNA profiles using RMNE.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England) - 15 Jan 2009

Van Nieuwerburgh F, Goetghebeur E, Vandewoestyne M, Deforce D

Abstract excerpt

MOTIVATION: Two methods are commonly used to report on evidence carried by forensic DNA profiles: the 'Random Man Not Excluded' (RMNE) approach and the likelihood ratio (LR) approach. It is often claimed a major advantage of the LR method that dropout can be assessed probabilistically. RESULTS: In this article, a new RMNE measure is proposed that like-wise accounts for allelic dropout in an observed forensic DNA...
