“…Although the SLR framework has shown promise in different areas of forensics (handwriting: [8,13,21,25], glass: [40,41], fingerprints: [20,28,35], speaker recognition: [19], ink: [36], MDMA tablets: [3,4], digital: [17], cameras: [42]), concerns have been raised regarding their behavior and use in forensic settings [32,34], and their evaluation has been the subject of extensive research in the literature [18,33]. Ishihara and Carne [22] summarize the benefits and shortcomings of using score-based methods; using a lower dimensional metric reduces the need for complex models, and simpler estimation procedures are required to estimate univariate conditional scores.…”
