    This study establishes a formula to estimate paternity testing efficiency. It links the chance of non-exclusion of non-fathers to the accuracy of identifying true fathers and excluding false ones.

    Area of Science:

    • Forensic Genetics
    • Statistical Genetics

    Background:

    • Paternity testing efficiency involves three key metrics: non-exclusion of non-fathers, recognition of true fathers, and assignment of non-fathers.
    • Directly assessing all metrics can be challenging without extensive observational data.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To establish a relationship between the chance of non-exclusion of non-fathers and other paternity testing efficiency criteria.
    • To develop a method for estimating critical paternity testing performance percentages.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized statistical analysis to model the variance of natural logarithms of paternity index values.
    • Derived a formula relating the number of genetic systems (n) and the chance of non-exclusion of non-fathers (ne) to the variance.

    Main Results:

    • The variance of the distribution of natural logarithms of paternity index values is well-approximated by the formula: var. ln I = 0.65 X (n(ln 1/ne)2).
    • This formula allows for the estimation of the percentage of true fathers incorrectly excluded and non-fathers incorrectly included.

    Conclusions:

    • A predictive model for paternity testing efficiency has been developed.
    • The formula provides a practical way to estimate key performance indicators when direct data is limited.
