Abstract
In view of the increasing demand of ever-complex parentage casework, our lab saw itself in the position to define a strategy as standardized as possible to deal with the bulk of those cases. We searched for a coherent and exhaustive way to find answers. The major aim of this communication is to present the heuristical, mathematical and other aspects of a probabilistic evaluation procedure that has been developed since 2003. We also present a theoretical casework to illustrate one of the many problems that have to be faced: the choice of suitable statistical hypotheses.
