Supervised logistic regression distinguished dominant versus non-dominant handwriting with 92.98% test accuracy using execution-quality features, providing quantitative benchmarks to support forensic evaluation of suspected off-hand disguise.
Researchers collected paired samples from 94 right-handed participants who each wrote the same standardized text with dominant and non-dominant hands, then scored 13 general and 19 individual characteristics. They found statistically significant differences in 61.5% of general and 57.9% of individual characteristics and trained a supervised logistic regression model to distinguish hand use.
