abstract:
The paper defends the subjectivistic interpretation of probability and its appropriateness for forensic science applications, showing how it can make use of available information in terms of relative frequencies. The paper also argue for the inappropriateness of attempts to interpret relative frequencies as probabilities, and emphasize that knowledge of relative frequencies neither is a necessary condition for probability assignments nor, in forensic applications that consider singular events, need probability assignments be conceptualized in a frequentist perspective
