DNA mixture interpretation is undertaken either by calculating a LR or an exclusion probability (RMNE or its complement CPI). Debate exists as to which has the greater claim. The merits and drawbacks of the two approaches are discussed. We conclude that the two matters that appear to have real force are: (1) LRs are more difficult to present in court and (2) the RMNE statistic wastes information that should be utilised.
DNA混合图谱解释可通过计算似然比(LR)或排除概率(随机匹配非父排除率RMNE或其互补的累计父权指数CPI)来进行。关于哪种方法更具优势存在争议。本文讨论了这两种方法的优缺点。我们得出结论,似乎有实际影响力的两个问题是:(1)似然比在法庭上更难陈述;(2)随机匹配非父排除率统计浪费了应被利用的信息。
