A MCMC method for resolving two person mixtures.

Science & justice : journal of the Forensic Science Society - 1 Dec 2008

Curran James M

Abstract excerpt

In this paper a Monte Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) method for resolving DNA mixtures containing at most four peaks per locus into a major and a minor contributor is presented. Unlike previous methods, this method can provide posterior probability assessments of the most probable genotype and a likely range for the mixing proportion. The proposed method is applied to two DNA mixtures where the true genotypes of the...
