Description
Describes a wide variety of applications of statistical concepts in legal settings, as well as cases in which statistical analyses were important elements.
Several chapters are devoted to employment discrimination and antitrust violation, two areas of litigation that rely heavily on statistics.
Contributors discuss the correct choice and use of statistical techniques in the assessment of damages, the measurement and quantification of skill (in a case deciding whether video poker games require skill), the determination of disputed paternity and elections, and other areas where statistics are used in legal cases.
Many of the chapters are written by the statisticians who actually participated in the cases under discussion.
