    Challenges→The likelihood ratio of naked statistical evidence in cases such as Prisoner and Gatecrasher is strictly speaking unknown, not determinately one or greater than one.

    Because the likelihood ratio varies with background information, it cannot be fixed at any single value.

    Fifth, another line of response for legal probabilists is to concede that the paradoxes of naked statistical evidence demonstrate the inadequacy of simple probabilistic thresholds as proof standards (Urbaniak 2019). Instead of the posterior probability of liability, a number of scholars have focused on the likelihood ratio \(P(E\pmid H)/P(E \pmid H')\). Their argument is that, even though naked statistical evidence can support a high posterior probability of liability, the likelihood ratio of th
