Estimating Products in Forensic Identification Using DNA Profiles
基于 DNA 图谱的法医识别中的参数乘积估计
In many areas, such as reliability and forensic identification, it is of interest to estimate a product of unknown parameters, each of which is estimated from test data. The maximum likelihood estimator usually used in both applications is approximately unbiased but has an asymmetric sampling distribution, particularly when the sample size is not large. Consequently, most estimates understate the parameter value, often substantially, and this may be a serious drawback if…
