The lecture describes how problems of forensic DNA identification can be naturally cast in a Bayesian network setting. The lecture is mainly based on the recent papers
Dawid, A. P., Mortera, J., Pascali, V. P. and van Boxel, D. (2002). Probabilistic Expert Systems for Forensic Inference from Genetic Markers. Scandinavian Journal of Statistics 29, 577-595.
Mortera, J., Dawid, A. P. and Lauritzen. S. L. (2003). Probabilistic expert systems for DNA mixture profiling. Theoretical Population Biology 63, 191-205. pdf-reprint.
In particular, we will show how to make these networks in HUGIN. HUGIN Researcher should now be installed on the local network in Aarhus. A free version, HUGIN Lite, can be downloaded from the HUGIN Web Site and will be able to handle many examples.
