Probabilities are used to describe the frequency or likelihood of events or to characterize measurement uncertainty. In this first session, we introduce the laws of probability and their application in forensic settings. Specific topics include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Definition and interpretation of probability<\/li>\n<li>Basic laws of probability<\/li>\n<li>Conditional probability and independence of events<\/li>\n<li>Bayes\u2019 Theorem and Bayesian statistics<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Topics are illustrated with examples drawn from forensic science and relevant legal cases.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Presenter: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hal Stern<\/strong><br \/>\nCo-Director of CSAFE<br \/>\nProvost, Executive Vice Chancellor, and Chancellor&#8217;s Professor &#8211; University of California, Irvine<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Short Course:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Session 1 is the first session in the four-part short course, <a href=\"https:\/\/forensicstats.org\/courses\/\">Statistical Thinking for Forensic Practitioners<\/a>. Dr. Hal Stern introduces fundamental concepts from probability and statistics \u2013\u2013 motivated by forensic issues \u2013\u2013 followed by a detailed investigation of how they apply to assess forensic evidence&#8217;s probative value. This short course will be held online in four sessions. Each session builds upon the previous one(s) and recordings will be available in the event registrants are unable to attend one or more of the live sessions. Researchers, collaborators, and members of the broader forensics and statistics communities are encouraged to attend. Short course registrants who attend all sessions will receive a certificate of completion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Registration:<\/strong><br \/>\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/app.smartsheet.com\/b\/form\/4f01cb2ccc714194a4b360572d209d07\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This event is scheduled to take place on Friday, October 14, 2022.
