Forensic DNA profiling is acknowledged as the model for a scientifically defensible
approach in forensic identification science, as it meets the most stringent court admissibility …

Two procedures for the calculation of forensic likelihood ratios were tested on the same set
of acoustic–phonetic data. One procedure was a multivariate kernel density procedure …

Non-contemporaneous speech samples from 27 male speakers of Australian English were
compared in a forensic likelihood-ratio framework. Parametric curves (polynomials and …

This study investigates the evidential value of filled pauses (FPs, ie um, uh) as variables in
forensic voice comparison. FPs for 60 young male speakers of standard southern British …

Across forensic speech science, the likelihood ratio (LR) is increasingly becoming accepted
as the logically and legally correct framework for the expression of expert conclusions …

The onset+ offset model of vowel inherent spectral change has been found to be effective for
vowel-phoneme identification, and not to be outperformed by more sophisticated parametric …

In forensic voice comparison, the expert is typically instructed to compare the voices in a pair
of offender and suspect samples. To appropriately evaluate the strength of such evidence, it …

Within the field of forensic speech science there is increasing acceptance of the likelihood
ratio (LR) as the logically and legally correct framework for evaluating forensic voice …

The research presented in this thesis examines the calculation of numerical likelihood ratios
using phonetic and linguistic parameters derived from a corpus of recordings of speakers of …

This thesis examines acoustic parameters of five consonants/m, n, ŋ, l, s/in two dialects of
British English: Standard Southern British English and Leeds English. The research aims to …
