“(1) whether a theory or technique 'can be (and has been) tested'; (2) 'whether the theory or technique has been subjected to peer review and publication'; (3) 'the known [or] potential rate of error' in using a particular scientific technique 'and the existence and maintenance of standards controlling the technique's operation'; and (4) whether the theory or technique has been generally accepted in the particular scientific field.”

5 later decisions quote this exact passage“[a]n appellate court should be wary of substituting its judgments for that of the trial court. An abuse of discretion standard of review, however, is not tantamount to rubber-stamping the trial judge’s decision. It should not prevent an appellate court from conducting a meaningful analysis of the admission [of] scientific testimony to ensure that the trial judge’s decision was in accordance with the Rules of Evidence and the evidence in the case.”
