A method for studying shape change in children.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method is given measuring shape change with age, utilizing two dimensional body outlines. Problems of standardization for overall size are discussed and it is shown how the method can be used to draw D'Arcy Thompson-type transformation grids. The method is applied to serial measurements on a girl from 31/2 to 19 years of age.

متن کاملDetermining optimal value of the shape parameter $c$ in RBF for unequal distances topographical points by Cross-Validation algorithm
Several radial basis function based methods contain a free shape parameter which has a crucial role in the accuracy of the methods. Performance evaluation of this parameter in different functions with various data has always been a topic of study. In the present paper, we consider studying the methods which determine an optimal value for the shape parameter in interpolations of radial basis ...
