Information-theoretical comparison of likelihood ratio methods of forensic evidence evaluation

Forensic evidence in the form of two-level hierarchical multivariate continuous data is modelled using a likelihood ratio approach. Data are available from fragments of glass and of paint. Cross-entropy is used to compare the results with a neutral method and a method using the correct answers.
