Evidence Under Bayes Theorem
One application of Bayes' theorem is in evidence diagnostics', where the theorem provides a way of updating the probability of an event in the light of new information.
In the evidence law context, for example, it could be used as a way of updating the probability that a genetic sample found at the scene of the crime came from the defendant in light of a genetic test showing the frequency of the genetic sample (blood,hair, etc.) in the general population.
