Validation and Tutorial of NOCIt for Determining the Number of Contributors
This webinar highlighted the results of a full developmental validation of a method that estimates the A Posteriori Probability (APP) of the number of contributors in a DNA sample(NOC), and demonstrated that estimating the APP based on peak heights outperforms methods that rely on binary determinations alone. This presentation focused on including the true NOC in Likelihood Ratio interpretations and on repeatability.
This webinar was presented by the NIJ Forensic Technology Center of Excellence on July 14, 2020.
