Abstract excerpt
Forensic applications of DNA typing data require the estimation of the frequencies of all observed alleles, which is currently done by a fixed set of groupings (binning) of alleles in a database. Recently it's validity has been questioned on the ground that when a DNA fragment size is close to a bin boundary, the frequencies of all adjacent bins should be added. On the contrary, the current forensic database...
