Use of Bayesian Networks for the investigation of the nature of biological material in casework.
An object of class bn.fit. Refer to the documentation of bnlearn for details.
A discrete Bayesian network to assess the presence of blood in the recovered material and combine potentially contradictory observations. The network was available from an associated repository. The vertices are:
Blood test (Positive, Negative, Weak positive);
(Red, Light red, Other);
Concentration of total DNA (0-0.0002, 0.0002-0.0005, 0.0005-0.001, 0.001-0.002, 0.002-0.004, 0.004-0.01, 0.01-0.01, 0.02-inf);
(Yes, No);
