Zusammenfassung

If a method is known by a person’s name, as is the case with the Essen-Möller method (1), one can wonder where exactly lie the author’s merits that justify such an allocation. In my opinion Essen-Möller has three merits:

  1. 1.

    introducing the frequencies X and Y as biostatistical parameters;

  2. 2.

    recommending a W-value indicating the plausibility of paternity — and not using a likelihood ratio;

  3. 3.

    weighting each hypothesis by a neutral prior plausibility.
