This second session in the Foundational Statistics for Forensic Toxicology series explores various distributions commonly encountered in forensic toxicology (normal, rectangular, etc.). Participants will learn about the characteristics of these distributions and how they manifest in toxicological data. Also, this session covers statistical measures that can describe and compare distributions, including variance, standard deviation, and relative standard deviation. Through practical examples, participants will gain insight into how these statistical techniques are applied in forensic toxicology.
This webinar was hosted by the NIJ Forensic Technology Center of Excellence on May 23, 2024. It is one of six webinars in the Foundational Statistics for Forensic Toxicology series.
