264 Forensic Laboratory Management: Applying Business Principles
Slide 135:
Another program is the Linear Mixture Analysis designed by Dr. Mark
Perlin. ere have been several others developed as well.
Slide 136:
Many in the community feel we should try and avoid mixture interpreta-
tion through deconvolution. If we are unable to do so, we go with an exclu-
sion probability or, if there are reasonable peak heights, perhaps a likelihood
ratio. But again, this is all dependent on your particular lab’s protocols.
Slide 137:
With the exclusion probability we assume Hardy-Weinberg, but we do
not apply a theta correction factor, although there is a variant formula avail-
able in PopStats that will allow us to do so.
Slide 138:
Exclusion probability: If we have ...
