CSAFE invites researchers, collaborators, and members of the broader forensics and statistics communities to participate in the February Center Wide Webinar on Monday, February 4 at 11:00 am CST. We will have a short introduction from CSAFE Director Alicia Carriquiry followed by the presentation\u00a0\u201cCovering the Basic Concepts Surrounding the Weight and Strength of Evidence- Part 2\u201d<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0by Dr. Danica Ommen, CSAFE researcher and Iowa State University assistant professor.<\/p>\n

Webinar Description:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0In this two-part presentation, we will focus on aspects of the forensic identification of source problems where the main question of interest is determining the origin of evidence with unknown source.\u00a0 In order to solve this problem, we need to determine the value of the evidence with respect to two competing propositions for its origin by computing some type of \u201clikelihood ratio.\u201d\u00a0 After we get this value of evidence, the idea is that it can be used to help someone make a decision. \u00a0In the case of a criminal trial, the decision would be regarding the guilt or innocence of the defendant. \u00a0However, there are many different ideas about what the \u201clikelihood ratio\u201d should look like and how to compute its value, especially in the face of uncertainty. \u00a0Often, we are uncertain about the statistical models we\u2019ve chosen to describe the evidence.\u00a0\u00a0In this presentation, we will discuss the basic definitions,\u00a0as well as various computational strategies,\u00a0for both the weight and the value of evidence. \u00a0In addition, we will review and discuss recent controversies surrounding the value of evidence.<\/p>\n
