Standard for Forensic Autosomal STR DNA Statistical Analyses

This standard provides requirements for the laboratory protocol for performing statistical analyses, including verification and consistent application of the protocol. This document also includes requirements for documentation in the case record of information regarding the statistical calculations. This standard applies to testing performed using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of autosomal loci consisting of short tandem repeats (STR). This standard applies only to statistical calculations for sub-source and sub-sub-source levels in the hierarchy of propositions.
