Statistical Significance and Reporting Language

There's been a lot of talk lately about removing "statistical significance" from the reporting language of scientists, and forensic scientists. Many believe that the use of the term deliberately confuses the Trier of Fact and relies upon the fact that most are ignorant of statistics and their foundations.

The limitations of significance is one of the topics covered in Statistics for Forensic Analysts, my stats class that has migrated from the classroom to our on-line micro-learning portal.


Statistics form the foundation of much of what we do in

  • Forensic Video Analysis
  • Forensic Audio Analysis
  • Digital Forensics
  • Latent Print Examinations
  • Questioned Document Examinations
  • Toolmark / Firearms / Treadwear Examinations
  • Shooting Incident Reconstructions
  • Traffic Investigations / Recreations
With so many folks needing to gain knowledge / experience in statistics, offering the course on-line and allowing sign-up at any time allows us to get this valuable information out to as many people as possible in the shortest amount of time. No need to wait for the next class, no conflicting schedules. Just sign-up and begin learning.
