The court in T.H. noted that despite no specific test being required, trial courts generally may consider (1) whether the technique has been or can be empirically tested; (2) whether the technique has been subjected to peer review and publication; (3) the known or potential rate of error, as well as the existence and maintenance of standards controlling the technique’s operation; and (4) general acceptance within the relevant scientific community.181	cache/inlawrev-18380.pdf	txt/inlawrev-18380.txt
