Sex determination from calcaneus in Korean using discriminant analysis

Sex determination from the radiographic measurements of calcaneus

“…In our study, the mean value of tuber plantare was found to be smaller than Riepert's research. [6] Variables In the comparison of the same parameters studied by Riepert et al, [6] Kim et al, [14] Zhang et al, [13] Introna et al, [9] Bidmos et al [8] and our study, morphometric measurements of the males were found to be higher than in females in all of the studies. However, in the study by Zhang et al, [13] morphometric values were found to be smaller than our morphometric data both in males and females.…”

“…This difference was thought to be related with genetical differences (Table 3). [6,8,9,13,14] Studies found in the literature concluded that the measurements of males were found to be higher than the females ( Table 3). The black community living in Europe had higher calcaneus measurement values than the ones living in Southern African society.…”

Sex determination based on the analysis of a contemporary Polish population’s palatine bones: a computed tomography study of 1,200 patients

“…There is much debate over which elements to use for sex identification when only the skull and the long bones (femur, humerus, and radius) are present. Many authors indicate that the skull is the second most reliable gender indicator [7, 13 19], however there are also numerous studies showing otherwise [2,14,17]. Not only entire bones, but even chosen bone features (e.g.…”

“…gender determination, trauma analysis, age estimation) [18,22]. Sex determination using CT scans has already been used in many studies [4,6,14,18]. However, further studies are still necessary, as not all skeletal features have been investigated this way -including the hard palate.…”

Determination of a novel size proxy in comparative morphometrics

“…52,53 Canonical variates analysis is a k-group extension of Fisher's linear discriminant analysis for k=2 groups, 52,53 and this extension has both practical and theoretical significance in biological anthropology. Conventional application of a two-sample discriminant function analysis (DFA) in forensic assessment of sex or ancestry [54][55][56][57][58] proceeds from a series of multidimensional (k=>3) variates under expectations that the predefined 'sets' sample discreet multivariate universes. 52,53 Nevertheless, substantial overlap exists in observed univariate and multivariate distributions of female and male individuals in all but the most dimorphic mammalian taxa.…”
