During the past decade, several studies have been conducted to estimate the false positive error rate (FPR) associated with latent fingerprint examination. The so-called Black-box…
Deconvolution of dust mixtures by latent Dirichlet allocation in forensic science
Madeline Ausdemore, Cedric Neumann
Dust particles recovered from the soles of shoes may be indicative of the sites recently visited by an individual, and, in particular, of the presence of an individual at a particu…
