Sexing of mandible using ramus and condyle in Indian population: a discriminant function analysis

The mandible is the strongest bone of the skull, and it is commonly utilized in forensic anthropology for determination of sex from skeletal remains. It has been extensively studied by both metric and non-metric methods, but for this purpose an intact mandible is often required. This study was conducted in Indian population using discriminant function analysis to calculate the accuracy of two p...

Sexing Adult Pale-Winged Starlings Using Morphometric and Discriminant Function Analysis

Accurate sexing of birds is vital for behavioral studies but can be a real problem in the field, especially for monomorphic species. Our goal here was to characterize the morphology of male and female monomorphic pale-winged starlings (Onychognathus nabouroup), a South African sturnid whose plumage is sexually monomorphic. Morphological measurements of genetically sexed animals indicated that m...

A Trivial Linear Discriminant Function

In this paper, we focus on the new model selection procedure of the discriminant analysis. Combining resampling technique with k-fold cross validation, we develop a k-fold cross validation for small sample method. By this breakthrough, we obtain the mean error rate in the validation samples (M2) and the 95% confidence interval (CI) of discriminant coefficient. Moreover, we propose the model sel...
