Abstract
In this chapter, various techniques of assessing an individual's survival are presented, suitable for presentation in a forensic setting. The three techniques that are compared are the life table, Kaplan–Meier, and Weibull methods. Methods for assessing the uncertainty of a survival projection, as well as the bounds of what is “more probable than not” for an individual, suitable for presentation in a forensic setting, are discussed and presented as well.
