Chapter One examines the differences between the frequentist, the likelihood and the Bayesian perspectives, before Chapter Two explores the Bayesian decision-theoretic perspective further, and looks at the benefits it carries.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart Two then introduces the reader to the practical aspects involved: the application, interpretation, summary and presentation of data analyses are all examined from a Bayesian decision-theoretic perspective. A wide range of statistical methods, essential in the analysis of forensic scientific data is explored. These include the comparison of allele proportions in populations, the comparison of means, the choice of sampling size, and the discrimination of items of evidence of unknown origin into predefined populations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThroughout this practical appraisal there are a wide variety of examples taken from the routine work of forensic scientists. These applications are demonstrated in the ever-more popular R language. The reader is taken through these applied examples in a step-by-step approach, discussing the methods at each stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFranco Taroni\u003c\/strong\u003e, Institute de Police Scientifique et de Criminologie, University of Lausanne, Switzerland. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSilvia Bozza\u003c\/strong\u003e, Departimento di Statistica, Universit`a di Venezia, Italy. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlex Biedermann\u003c\/strong\u003e, Bundeskriminalpolizei, Kommissariat Kriminaltechnik, Switzerland. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaolo Garbolino\u003c\/strong\u003e, Faculty of Arts and Design, IUAV University, Venice, Italy. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColin Aitken\u003c\/strong\u003e, School of Mathematics, University of Edinburgh, UK. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 May 2010\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\u003e9780470998359\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\u003e392\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24.32\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44379174469772,"sku":"9780470998359","price":95.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780470998359_af3dc8f1-0134-42cb-a87a-281ba9bd742c.jpg?v=1780113425","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780470998359","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
