Estimating STR Profile Frequencies—Special Circumstances
Two special circumstances require alternative approaches to the estimation of STR profile frequencies:
- Cases involving remote geographic regions with small population sizes. Access information contained in NRC II on calculating allele frequencies in small populations at http://www.nap.edu/books/0309053951/html/114.html
- Cases involving relatives
