Daubert standard
The US federal evidentiary standard (Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, 1993) requiring that expert testimony be based on scientifically valid methods with known error rates and general acceptance in the relevant scientific community. Racial typological testimony in forensic anthropology is vulnerable to Daubert challenge; population-affinity testimony supported by FORDISC posterior probabilities is substantially more defensible.
