Abstract

DNA profiling technology sensitivity means that stain samples reveal complex profiles that present interpretation issues. In this article we illustrate the effect of incorporating a dropin peak height model into a peak height model that considers dropout and stutters and we illustrate their combined performance for calculating likelihood ratios. The example also shows that thresholds are needed when using continuous models.
