Gender identification from thumbprint ridge thickness among <i>Hausa</i> population of <i>Nigeria</i> using likelihood ratio and posterior probability density
Abstract:The objectives of the present study were to identify gender from thumbprints ridge thickness using likelihood ratio and posterior probability density as well as to determine which of the three areas of thumb has more potential in sex determination. Ridge thickness for 97 male and 97 female subjects within the age range of 18-25 years were examined within the 25 mm 2 areas of the ulnar, radial and proximal parts of the thumb making up 1164 areas of the thumbprints. Female subjects exhibited finer ridge count co… Show more
