Forensic Statistics for Lawyers Part II: Classification

Type: Short Courses
Research Area: Forensic Statistics

CSAFE researcher and faculty member at the University of California, Irvine Bill Thompson has developed a series of videos as a Lawyer’s Guide to Probability and Statistics in Forensic Science.  The goal of these videos is to help lawyers understand the numbers that forensic scientists use to characterize the strength of evidence.  It’s also designed to help lawyers understand non-numerical statements that forensic scientists might make that are based on a statistical or probabilistic analysis.
