2
Likelihood Ratio quantitative rarity statistic in forensic science match likelihood ratio (MLR) posterior probability match data likelihood ratio (DLR) data data likelihood likelihood ratio ratio
3
Match item questioned evidence suspect data type
4
Match Probability (disjoint values) (assume types independent)
5
Inner Product standard pattern comparison method widely used, powerful math properties
6
Match Rarity Define the Match Likelihood Ratio (MLR) statistic
7
How to compute the MLR
8
MLR is a likelihood ratio Hypothesis C: suspect S contributed to evidence item Q MLR assesses match observation M under alternative contributor hypotheses C and C'
9
How to report a MLR The probability of a match between evidence type Q and suspect type S is (some number) times more likely than the probability of a match between evidence type Q and a random type R.
10
Type Probability likelihood function prior probability posterior probability
11
Single Source DNA likelihood prior posterior
12
DNA Mixture: Inclusion
13
DNA Inclusion Example 21 Perpetrator [1 1], [1 2], [2 2] Suspect [2 2]
14
DNA Mixture: Equality
15
DNA Equality Example 21 Victim [1 1] Perpetrator [1 2], [2 2] Suspect [2 2] (obligate allele)
16
Suspect S genotype probability MLR Evidence Q genotype prior probability DLR Constant Prior One Genotype DLR is a special case of MLR Mixture: Evidence Q 0/1 likelihood function
17
DNA Mixture: Quantitative 1, 2 & 3 unknown low copy number damaged DNA case-to-case method validation
18
DNA Kinship missing persons paternity familial search mass disaster S FM W 12
19
Population Substructure Genotypes are not independent: shared ancestry Coancestry coefficient : allele IBD probability Induces a measure on joint genotypes
20
Conclusions introduced MLR: "match likelihood ratio" an inner product ratio statistic agrees with "data likelihood" DNA LR extends LR to other DNA applications statistical framework for non-DNA forensics
