David H. Kaye (DHK) is one of my favourite writers. He is truly prolific and always manages to provide great insights for the reader. His grasp of statistics, logic, and the law is second-to-none, and his ability to communicate those very challenging topics to his audience is equally impressive.

As a mini introduction, David “…is Distinguished Professor, and Weiss Family Scholar in the School of Law, a graduate faculty member of Penn State’s Forensic Science Program, and a Regents’ Professor Emeritus, ASU.” If you would like to see a list of his publications check out http://personal.psu.edu/dhk3/cv/cv_pubs.html 

Yes, DHK has written many things on many topics.1  But I would like to focus on his less formal writings from his blog  Forensic Science, Statistics & the Law.

Below you will find a selection of posts that I find particularly interesting, each for its own reason.  I plan to do a mini-review of these to explain how they relate to my view of the logical approach to evidence evaluation, among other things.  However, unlike DHK, it seems to take me forever to write something worthy of posting so please don’t expect anything in the near future.  I will add a link to my work as I get them done.  In the meantime I recommend you take a few minutes to review David’s writings, starting with the following: 

Footnotes

  1. In the interest of full disclosure I should say that I have had the great pleasure of working with David on a couple of projects including the Expert Working Group on Human Factors in Handwriting Examination.
