fluids Bayesian Networks

Description

Use of Bayesian Networks for the investigation of the nature of biological material in casework.

Format

A discrete Bayesian network to assess the presence of saliva in the recovered material and combine potentially contradictory observations. The network was available from an associated repository. The vertices are:

Risk

Risk of false positive for saliva detection (High, Low);

Saliva

(Yes, No);

RSID

Saliva test (Positive, Negative, Weak positive);

Concentration

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);

Nature_of_stain

(Saliva, Fecal matter/vaginal secretion/sperm/breat milk/urine, Other);

Value

An object of class bn.fit. Refer to the documentation of bnlearn for details.
