Description
Bundles functions used to analyze the harmfulness of trial errors in criminal trials. Functions in the Scientific Analysis of Trial Errors ('sate') package help users estimate the probability that a jury will find a defendant guilty given jurors' preferences for a guilty verdict and the uncertainty of that estimate. Users can also compare actual and hypothetical trial conditions to conduct harmful error analysis. The conceptual framework is discussed by Barry Edwards, A Scientific Framework for Analyzing the Harmfulness of Trial Errors, UCLA Criminal Justice Law Review (2024) <doi:10.5070/CJ88164341> and Barry Edwards, If The Jury Only Knew: The Effect Of Omitted Mitigation Evidence On The Probability Of A Death Sentence, Virginia Journal of Social Policy & the Law (2025) <https://vasocialpolicy.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Edwards-If-The-Jury-Only-Knew.pdf>. The relationship between individual jurors' verdict preferences and the probability that a jury returns a guilty verdict has been studied by Davis (1973) <doi:10.1037/h0033951>; MacCoun & Kerr (1988) <doi:10.1037/0022-3514.54.1.21>, and Devine et el. (2001) <doi:10.1037/1076-8971.7.3.622>, among others.
