关于审判的基本统计数据(Lucia de Berk案)

Elementary Statistics on Trial (the case of Lucia de Berk)

Richard D. Gill, Piet Groeneboom, Peter de Jong

摘要:

在Lucia de Berk一案的判决中,法院咨询的专家使用的一个简单的超几何模型发挥了重要作用,该模型产生了一定数量事件发生的极小概率。我们想提请注意的事实是,如果我们考虑到护士在轮班期间经历的事件的差异,这些概率可能会变得相当大。这表明在这些情况下使用过于简化的离散概率模型是危险的。

英文摘要:

In the conviction of Lucia de Berk an important role was played by a simple hypergeometric model, used by the expert consulted by the court, which produced very small probabilities of occurrences of certain numbers of incidents. We want to draw attention to the fact that, if we take into account the variation among nurses in incidents they experience during their shifts, these probabilities can become considerably larger. This points to the danger of using an oversimplified discrete probability model in these circumstances.
