title: The evaluation of evidence in the forensic investigation of fire incidents. Part II. Practical examples of the use of Bayesian networks.
abstract: This paper extends a previous discussion of the use of Bayesian networks for evaluating evidence in the forensic investigation of fire incidents. Bayesian networks are proposed for two casework examples and the practical implications studied in detail. Such networks were found to provide precious support in addressing some of the wide range of issues that affect the coherent evaluation of evidence.
