# SLR

- Continuing to write up results based on the simple normal example
    - Probability that SLR/LR is large depends on the ratio of between and within source variances as well as the rarity of the known source
    - Probabilities are large under the defense hypothesis and small under the prosecution
    - Distribution of SLR/LR under the defense hypothesis is highly skewed
    - Does it matter if `\(SLR/LR > 10000\)` when `\(LR \approx 2 \times 10^{-35}\)`

# Groove ID

- bulletcp package is passing Travis-CI 
- Model and estimation procedure is written up in the vignette. 
- Working on the data preprocessing section. 
- Additional work will probably only be necessary for the vignette, not for the JFS paper.
