DNA-MAP, a knowledge-based decision support system for Australian Defence Force forensic ancestry prediction

James, Kyle (2021) DNA-MAP, a knowledge-based decision support system for Australian Defence Force forensic ancestry prediction. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

Development of a Knowledge-Based Decision Support System to predict ancestry of the remains of missing World War Two soldiers in South-East Asia. By utilizing biological and historical information provided by the user, ancestry is assigned based on complex statistical analyses searching for distinctive patterns in the DNA that distinguish between the Australian and Japanese populations. Important features taken into consideration are the detection of a rare event, the effect of sample size and the impact of natural variation.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
