Evidence, probability and relative plausibility
Colin G. G. Aitken, Franco Taroni, Silvia Bozza · The International Journal of Evidence & Proof · 2022
A comparison is made between probability and relative plausibility as approaches for the interpretation of evidence. It is argued that a probabilistic approach is capable of answering the criticisms of the proponents of relative plausibility. It is also shown that a probabilistic approach can answer the problem of overlapping where there is evidence that each side claims supports its theory of what happened.
