A continuous model for interpreting the positions of bands in DNA locus-specific work

摘要: A simple but rigorous approach is offered for evaluating the evidential value of single locus DNA autoradiographs. This does not use a binning technique and it treat alleles as discrete variables. Instead, allele distribution considered to be continuous. The variation between two comparable bands assessed using previously determined experimental parameters. Bayesian treatment leads an expression "quality match".
