Such examinations return various kinds of information, including quantitative data. From the forensic point of view, the most suitable way to evaluate evidence is the likelihood ratio. This book provides a collection of recent approaches to the determination of likelihood ratios and describes suitable software, with documentation and examples of their use in practice.  The statistical computing and graphics software environment \u003cb\u003eR\u003c\/b\u003e, pre-computed Bayesian networks using \u003cb\u003eHugin Researcher\u003c\/b\u003e and a new package, \u003cb\u003ecalcuLatoR\u003c\/b\u003e, for the computation of likelihood ratios are all explored.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eStatistical Analysis in Forensic Science\u003c\/i\u003e will provide an invaluable practical guide for forensic experts and practitioners, forensic statisticians, analytical chemists, and chemometricians.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eKey features include:\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDescription of the physicochemical analysis of forensic trace evidence.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDetailed description of likelihood ratio models for determining the evidential value of multivariate  physicochemical data.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDetailed description of methods, such as empirical cross-entropy plots, for assessing the performance of likelihood ratio-based methods for evidence evaluation.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRoutines written using the open-source \u003cb\u003eR\u003c\/b\u003e software, as well as \u003cb\u003eHugin Researcher\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003ecalcuLatoR\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePractical examples and recommendations for the use of all these methods in practice. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003eGrzegorz Zadora\u003c\/b\u003e, Institute of Forensic Research, Krakow, Poland. \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDaniel Ramos\u003c\/b\u003e, Telecommunication Engineering, Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, Spain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 February 2014\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780470972106\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e336\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44311101014156,"sku":"9780470972106","price":105.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780470972106.jpg?v=1780207914","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780470972106","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
