Likelihood ratios for deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) typing in criminal cases.
The likelihood ratio approach for DNA typing in criminal cases is described. It is shown how this approach uses both the sizes and pattern of discrepancies between the crime scene profile of fragment lengths and the suspect profile for quantifying the strength of the evidence. In contrast to the current match-binning approach, it avoids an initial decision about whether the two profiles match. ...
متن کاملLikelihood ratios for DNA identification.
Likelihood ratio (LR) tests are provided for the three alternatives to DNA identity: exclusion, coincidence, and kinship. The coincidence test uses the radius of coalescence to conserve the observed frequency of single band phenotypes. Genotype probabilities under kinship are derived for mating groups, specified relatives, and structured populations; and unbiased estimates of the genetic parame...
متن کاملHigh total histone deoxyribonucleic acid ratios for rat liver nuclei.
The ratios of total histone to DNA for rat liver nuclei isolated by four methods as well as for calf liver nuclei isolated by one method were determined by obtaining the ratios of the total areas of the electrophoretic histone peaks for the liver nuclei to the corresponding total area given by a known amount of standard calf thymus histone. Ratios of total histone to DNA of approx. 2 for rat li...
متن کاملInferences for Likelihood Ratios
Likelihood ratios are extensively used to evaluate the performances of diagnostic tests and to update prior odds of disease to posttest odds. Since few tests are truly 100% accurate, including many used as “gold standards,” it is important to be able to estimate likelihood ratios in cases where no such standard is available. In this paper, methods to calculate point and interval estimates for l...
متن کاملMolecular Structure of Deoxyribonucleic Acid (dna)
Although DNA is associated with complex biological phenomena and has many physicochemical properties not easily explained, there is no doubt that the molecule consists to a large extent of the regular, and in some ways simple structure (1-3), derived from x-ray diffraction. We will describe here briefly new data on the s t ruc turethe x-ray diffraction measurements and molecular model building ...
