Criminalistics and trace evidence are both terms that apply to all types of physical material that may be circumstantial evidence in the trial of a case. Most often experts who are identified as criminalists, microanalysts, or trace evidence examiners analyze a variety of types of trace evidence. They carry out three types of identification. First is to determine the nature of small items of trace evidence. After this forensic experts compare the trace evidence with known materials for the purpose of determining the origin of the evidence. The third type of criminahstics investigations is performed in order to identify an individual to whom the trace belongs. For this purpose population studies using statistics (especially the probabilistic approach of Bayesian theory) and chemometrics methods are utilized. 

My purpose is to help, but then like all other good armies, 1 must also leave when the job is over. The human body is a true marvel of nature. It has many weapon systems ready to destroy me. Often, 1 leave the body through the kidneys other times, 1 recirculate and end up in the intestines or in other body tissues. But eventually, 1 am knocked out, although some of us are truly hard and stick around for years, especially when we develop an affection for proteins. My exit from the body is measured using many mathematical techniques, and many parameters are assigned to me on the basis of statistical principles that 1 know very little about, such as the Bayesian theory, deconvolution modeling, dose-response correlations, and the like These are the topics of discussion in this book.

Chemometrics and artificial intelligence procedures require a strict process of data selection. Since almost all statistical procedures are based on Bayesian theory, the information must comply with eight conditions ... 

Snodgrass and Kitanidis [61] also used a probabilistic approach combining Bayesian theory and geostatistical techniques. In their method, the source function to be estimated is discretized into components that are assigned a known stochastic structure with unknown stochastic parameters. The method incor-... 

Other methods such as Genetic Algorithm based on evolution principles, maximum entropy method based on Bayesian theory, and maximum likelihood methods have also been developed. ... 

Jeffreys (1961) advanced Bayesian theory by giving an unprejudiced prior density p(6, S) for suitably differentiable models. His result, given in Chapter 5 and used below, is fundamental in Bayesian estimation. 

In a Bayesian analysis, a set of observations shonld be seen as something that changes opinion. In other words, Bayesian theory allows scientists to combine new data with their existing knowledge or expertise. 

The Dempster-Shafer theory, also known as the theory of belief functions, is a generalization of the Bayesian theory of subjective probability [30,42]. Whereas the Bayesian theory requires probabilities for each question of interest, belief functions allow us to base degrees of belief for one question on probabilities for a related question. These degrees of belief may or may not have the mathematical properties of probabilities how much they differ from probabilities will depend on how closely the two questions are related. 

Dempster-Shafer Theory of Evidence is a generalization of the Bayesian theory based on degrees of belief rather than probabilities. 

The method of maximum likelihood is the standard estimation procedure in statistical inference. Whether one looks at the inference problem from the point of view of classical repeated-sampling theory or Bayesian theory or straightforward likelihood theory, maximizing the likelihood emerges as the preferred procedure. There really is no dispute about this in regular estimation problems, and phylogenetic inference does seem to be unexceptional from a statistical point of view, even though it took a little while for the initial difficulties in the application of maximum likelihood to be sorted out. This was mainly done by Felsenstein (1968) and Thompson (1974) in their Ph.D. dissertations and subsequent publications. 

The Bayesian theory is well presented in several books (Pearl 1987, Jensen 1997, Neapolitan 2004) and scientific publications (Huang et al. 1996, Chang et al. 1996), so this paper is not the right chance to deepen this subject but it is going on with the pre-sentation of an application of BNs as diagnostic and prognostic tool.

Bayesian statistical theory had been published, imtil 80 in twenty century Bayesian statistical theory has been in theory research phase, integral calculation is a big barrier in his development and application. However, Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) has been used to Bayesian statistical inference in recently, a main characteristic of this method is Metropolis-Hastings updating and Gibbs sampling, it can solve well the problem of numerical integration and sampling in multi dimensional distribution, which is convenient for posterior inference of parameters and accelerate the application of Bayesian theory. 

This paper presents a new method for the application of Bayesian theory and technology to product reliability growth during product development phase. The research work mainly focuses on how to determent prior distribution parameters of a new Dirichlet distribution and presents the relevant optimization model and method, finally demonstrate the validity of Bayesian reliability growth model by WinBUGS software. The conclusions as following ...

Although original indications for ICD implantation were in survivors of sudden cardiac death or known vennicular arrhythmia (9-11), prophylactic ICD implantation is now common to a population with less high-risk. As Bayesian theory would suggest, the probability of successfully detecting and... 

Bayesian theory Theory based on Bayes rule, which allows one to relate the a priori and a posteriori probabilities. If P (Cj) is the a priori probabiUty that a pattern belongs to class Cj, P(x ) is the probabiUty of pattern X, P (xJCj) is the class conditional probabiUty that the pattern is provided that it belongs to class q, P (Cj X j) is the a posteriori conditional probability that the given pattern class membership is Cj, given pattern x, then...

The concept of risk of the Bayesian theory based reliability qualification test plan is different from that of the classical qualification test plan. According to the posterior distribution, the producer s risk and user s risk are called posterior risk. (Ming 2009, Jiang Zhang 2000, Chen et al. 2002). The reliability qualification test plan based on posterior risk often makes the user bear too much risk.
