Post-mortem phenomena to estimate the time of death. The post-mortem interval (PMI) is the time that has elapsed since an individual's death. [1] When the time of death is not known, the interval may be estimated, and so an approximate time of death established. Postmortem interval estimations can range from hours, to days or even years ...
Pointwise mutual information. In statistics, probability theory and information theory, pointwise mutual information (PMI), [1] or point mutual information, is a measure of association. It compares the probability of two events occurring together to what this probability would be if the events were independent. [2]
Forensic science. Bloodstain pattern analysis (BPA) is a forensic discipline focused on analyzing bloodstains left at known, or suspected crime scenes through visual pattern recognition and physics-based assessments. This is done with the purpose of drawing inferences about the nature, timing and other details of the crime. [1]
The Science and Technology Branch (STB) is a service within the Federal Bureau of Investigation that comprises three separate divisions and three program offices. The goal when it was founded in July 2006 was to centralize the leadership and management of the three divisions. [2] The mission of the STB is discover, develop, and deliver ...
Forensic statistics is the application of probability models and statistical techniques to scientific evidence, such as DNA evidence, [1] and the law. In contrast to "everyday" statistics, to not engender bias or unduly draw conclusions, forensic statisticians report likelihoods as likelihood ratios (LR). This ratio of probabilities is then ...

e. Digital forensics (sometimes known as digital forensic science) is a branch of forensic science encompassing the recovery, investigation, examination, and analysis of material found in digital devices, often in relation to mobile devices and computer crime. [1][2] The term "digital forensics" was originally used as a synonym for computer ...
Forensic metrology extends its applications beyond the realms of traditional forensic science disciplines, encompassing fields such as accident reconstruction, forensic toxicology, ballistics analysis, forensic anthropology, and toolmark examination. Accident reconstruction relies heavily on precise measurements to analyze vehicle dynamics ...
