Title Tail length estimation from sacro-caudal skeletal morphology in catarrhines
Tail morphology in primates is important for interpreting functional adaptation and phylogeny. Tail length is probably the most remarkable trait. Establishing usable methods to predict the tail length of extinct primates is a part of the basis to reconstruct primate evolution, particularly of hominoids. Previous studies revealed that sacral morphology often predicts tail length. However, most o...
متن کاملA Model for Individual Height Estimation from Forearm Length in Natives of Kerman, Iran
Introduction: Height is an important biological human characteristic in anthropological studies and forensic medicine. In this way, forearm length (FAL) can be a useful factor for the height prediction in different population. The goal of this study was to find the relation between FAL and height in natives of Kerman. Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 150 cases including 75 males and 75...
متن کاملPredicting mammalian SINE subfamily activity from A-tail length.
Based on previous observations that newly inserted LINEs and SINEs have particularly long 3' A-tails, which shorten rapidly during evolutionary time, we have analyzed the rat and mouse genomes for evidence of recently inserted SINEs and LINEs. We find that the youngest predicted subfamilies of rodent identifier (ID) elements, a rodent-specific SINE derived from tRNA(Ala), are preferentially ass...
متن کاملSimultaneous Tail Index Estimation
• The estimation of the extreme-value index γ based on a sample of independent and identically distributed random variables has received considerable attention in the extreme-value literature. However, the problem of combining data from several groups is hardly studied. In this paper we discuss the simultaneous estimation of tail indices when data on several independent data groups are availabl...
متن کاملSmooth tail index estimation
Both parametric distribution functions appearing in extreme value theory the generalized extreme value distribution and the generalized Pareto distribution have log-concave densities if the extreme value index γ ∈ [−1, 0]. Replacing the order statistics in tail index estimators by their corresponding quantiles from the distribution function that is based on the estimated log-concave density f̂n ...
