We present a new methodology for analysing forensic identication problems involving DNA mixture traces where several individuals may have con- tributed to the trace. The model used for identication and separation of DNA mixtures is based on a gamma distribution for peak area values. In this paper we illustrate the gamma model and apply it on several real examples from forensic casework.

Abstract

We present a new methodology for analysing forensic identication problems involving DNA mixture traces where several individuals may have con- tributed to the trace. The model used for identication and separation of DNA mixtures is based on a gamma distribution for peak area values. In this paper we illustrate the gamma model and apply it on several real examples from forensic casework.
