[Forum SIS] Seminario 18 maggio Taroni Bozza

[Dip. Scienze Statistiche - Mi]

Il Dipartimento di Scienze statistiche dell'Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore ha organizzato un seminario, presentato dal Prof. Franco TARONI, Ecole des Sciences Criminelles, Losanna e dalla Dott.ssa Silvia BOZZA, Università Ca' Foscari di Venezia, dal titolo:


Scientific evidence at trial: probabilities to
support expert's conclusions



Mercoledì 18 Maggio dalle ore 11,30

in Aula G 025



Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore - Milano

Largo Gemelli,1 - Edificio Lanzone 18

Abstract:
Limited and incomplete information represent recurrent constraints in many practical inference problems. Thus, categorical conclusions are unwarranted and assessing the probative strength of scientific results in the light of uncertainty represents the regular case in forensic science and forensic medicine. What is more, the interpretation of scientific results in applied contexts requires the construction of arguments in a balanced, logical, robust and transparent way. It is the duty of scientists to clarify the foundations of such arguments and to handle the possibly multiple sources of uncertainty in a rigorous and coherent way. There now is a widespread agreement among many committed scientists that these requirements are appropriately conceptualized as reasoning in conformity with the laws of probability theory and, derived from this framework, Bayes' theorem, which is central to the understanding of inferential reasoning.
The speakers will focus the presentation on how elements of probability and Bayesian inferential statistics can be meaningfully applied to help resolve questions of inference at the intersection between forensic science and the law, and support scientists in their interaction with recipients of expert information in the legal process.
