Abstract / Description of output

Generalised Bayes' factors and associated Bayesian networks are developed
for the transfer of extrinsic evidence at the activity level, developments that
extend previous work on activity level evaluation. A strategy for the assessment
of extrinsic evidence is developed in stages with progressive increases in
complexity. The final development is illustrated with an example involving
fibres from clothing. This provides a list of factors involved in the consideration
of a transfer case with activity level propositions and their roles in the
determination of evidential value
