Precision Studies

Studies performed to evaluate the variation in likelihood ratios calculated from repeated software analyses of the same input data using the same set of conditions/parameters. Probabilistic genotyping systems inherently do not produce the same exact numbers in repeated analysis. These studies should demonstrate the range of values that can be expected from multiple analyses of the same data
