Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2010, $602,578)
The goal of this project is to develop a quantifiable measure of the accuracy of pattern recognition for bloodstains under a range of conditions relevant to crime scene examination and forensic casework. A panel of experienced bloodstain pattern analysts will be recruited and asked to classify a series of patterns covering a range of pattern types. A linear model for error rate will be derived from a multivariate analysis of variance collected in a balanced experimental design.
