The impact of parameter variation in the quantification of forensic genetic evidence by Camila Costa, Carolina Figueiredo, Sandra Costa, Paulo Miguel Ferreira, António Amorim, Lourdes Prieto, Nádia Pinto

“…This study aims to evaluate the impact on the evidence’s weighing, when different analytical threshold values are used, and when different models and/or estimates for analytical artifacts, such as stutters or drop-in parameters, are considered. To reach this goal, three PGS, based on different statistical models, were used to analyze real casework pairs of samples composed of a mixture with either two or three estimated contributors, and a single-source sample associated. …”
