摘要: Abstract A new approach is described to the problem of interpreting evidential value glass fragments found on clothing a person who suspected having committed crime. The in formal sense and brief review given previous papers which have been written problem. It then shown how Bayesian argument can be applied. Numerical examples are given, based data abstracted from various sources.
