- Additional information
- The statistical model in the paper is an important component of the statistical method for assigning evidential weight to forensic DNA-profiles. The model was implemented in the probabilistic genotyping system (PGS) LiRa-2.0 and has been used by Eurofins to report 4000 calculations in court since June 2018 (Eurofins, Sr Software Engineer). LiRa-2.0 has been accredited by the United Kingdom accreditation service
(https://www.ukas.com/wp-content/uploads/schedule_uploads/00002/10007Testing%20Multiple.pdf). Courts expect the use of a PGS in a DNA case, making LiRa-2.0 a crucial system. Using LiRa-2.0 in a case is chargeable to the police, therefore this model has a financial value (>£10,000 so far).
