Abstract:As we seek to develop high fidelity human simulation models for ergonomic applications, the characterization of the variability in human performance is needed. This technical note describes a method for generating probability density functions (PDFs) for one performance characteristic: trunk kinematics. A PDF from the Johnson family of distributions is defined by four parameters (γ, ξ, δ, and λ) and can represent a variety of distributions. In this study, previously published trunk kinematic data were fit to J… Show more
