mispitools - Missing Person Identification Tools

An open source software package written in R statistical language. It consists of a set of decision-making tools to conduct missing person searches. Particularly, it allows computing optimal LR threshold for declaring potential matches in DNA-based database search. More recently 'mispitools' incorporates preliminary investigation data based LRs. Statistical weight of different traces of evidence such as biological sex, age and hair color are presented. For citing mispitools please use the following references: Marsico and Caridi, 2023 <doi:10.1016/j.fsigen.2023.102891> and Marsico, Vigeland et al. 2021 <doi:10.1016/j.fsigen.2021.102519>.

forensicolors - Forensic Colors

An open source software package written in R statistical language. It consist in a set of tools to compute likelihood ratios based on pigmentation traits. Also, it allows computing conditional probabilities for unidentified individuals based on missing person characteristics. A set of tailored plots are incorporated to analyze likelihood ratio distributions.

fbnet - Forensic Bayesian Networks

Open-source package for computing likelihood ratios in kinship testing and human identification cases (Chernomoretz et al. (2021) <doi:10.1016/j.fsir.2020.100132>). It has the core function of the software GENis, developed by Fundación Sadosky. It relies on a Bayesian Networks framework and is particularly well suited to efficiently perform large-size queries against databases of missing individuals (Darwiche (2009) <doi:10.1017/CBO9780511811357>).
