Determination of Sex by Discriminant Function Analysis of Lateral Radiographic Cephalometry

Determination of Sex by Discriminant Function Analysis of Lateral Radiographic Cephalometry

Objective: The present study is an attempt to develop a method to determine sex from the skull with lateral cephalometric radiograph using discriminant function analysis. Study design: The superciliary ridges, frontal sinuses, sella, cranial base and mastoid process were adopted as objects of lateral radiographic cephalometric measurements. The present study included cephalometric radiographs o...

Sex Determination of Goat and Fox Skeleton by Means of Discriminant Function Analysis

Sex determination by discriminant function analysis of the tibia for contemporary Croats

Previous studies have demonstrated that populations differ from each other in size and proportion, and that these differences can affect metric assessment of sex. This paper establishes standards for determining sex from fragmentary and complete tibiae in the modern Croatian population. Measurements were taken on 180 tibiae (109 male and 71 female) from positively identified victims of the 1991...

Sex Determination by Applying Discriminant Functional Analysis on Patellar Morphometry

Recently a method which estimates the sex of unknown skeletal remains by discriminant functional analysis (DFA) of the patella bone has received much recognition. DFA equation on patella bone is available for South Italian population, Iranian population, Thai population, archeological sample of prehistoric period and also for South Africans of European ancestry. The aim of this study was to der...
