Summary The fingerprint has, with considerable justification, come to be regarded as the acme of forensic identification. Over last century, millions cases have been resolved world wide because marks left at crime scenes. comparison methodology has not evolved greatly during its history and it is universal practice present evidence a court categoric opinion identification or exclusion, classify inconclusive report it. There growing movement supplement examination process by one that...
ABSTRACT: Recent court challenges have highlighted the need for statistical research on fingerprint identification. This paper proposes a model computing likelihood ratios (LRs) to assess evidential value of comparisons with any number minutiæ. The considers minutiae type, direction and relative spatial relationships. It expands previous work three by adopting modeling using radial triangulation probabilistic distortion assessing numerator LR. has been tested sample 686 ulnar loops 204...
ABSTRACT: Recent challenges to fingerprint evidence have brought forward the need for peer‐reviewed scientific publications support evidential value assessment of fingerprint. This paper proposes some research directions gather statistical knowledge within‐source and between‐sources variability configurations three minutiæ on fingermarks fingerprints. use likelihood ratio (LR) approach assess evidence. The model explores contribution minutiae using Tippett plots related measures quality...
Abstract For several decades, legal and scientific scholars have argued that conclusions from forensic examinations should be supported by statistical data reported within a probabilistic framework. Multiple models been proposed to quantify express the probative value of evidence. Unfortunately, use statistics perform inferences in science adds layer complexity most scientists, court officers lay individuals are not armed handle. Many applications rely on ad-hoc strategies scientifically...
Abstract The aims of evaluating forensic evidence are to provide a transparent, coherent, and unbiased opinion the value fact‐finders. Measurements from glass in hit‐and‐run, for example, can help decide if particular vehicle was involved accident. evaluation involves comparison physical, optical, chemical properties recovered broken window with fragments suspected originating window. A standard method (ASTM E2927‐16e1) describes consensus‐based approach sampling, sample preparation,...
Recent developments in forensic science have lead to a proliferation of methods for quantifying the probative value evidence by constructing Bayes Factor that allows decision-maker select between prosecution and defense models. Unfortunately, analytical form is often computationally intractable. A typical approach statistics uses Monte Carlo integration numerically approximate marginal likelihoods composing Factor. This article focuses on developing generally applicable method characterizing...
This study expands upon a previously developed method that quantifies the similarity of compared tape edges by systematically studying effect several separation methods and grades on quality fit. Analysts examined more than 3300 pairs hand-torn or scissor-cut duct tapes from three different while they were kept blind ground truth to minimize bias. The samples following three-step methodology: 1) qualitative assessment overall edge alignment description pattern, 2) macroscopic evaluation...
