Statistical evidence in courts: presentation is everything
Statistical and mathematical techniques are frequently called upon to
analyse, interpret and explain a range of evidence in the courtroom, in
particular complex forensic evidence. This presentation will not only
focus on some past cases of statistical misuse and the reaction of the
Court, but also describe possible methods of appropriate mathematical
analysis of evidence.
