Cultural expectations of thinness in women: An update.
TL;DR: In this paper, an investigation of current American society's depiction of the ideal female body was performed, which indicated that the overvaluation of thinness continues and thinness is now sought through both dieting and exercise.
Journal ArticleDOI
Size Allometry: Size and Shape Variables with Characterizations of the Lognormal and Generalized Gamma Distributions
TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that isometry is possible with respect to at most one size variable, or in other words that shape will always be related to a variety of size variables.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the compound multinomial distribution, the multivariate β-distribution, and correlations among proportions
TL;DR: In this paper, the moments of the compound multinomial distribution are determined, and its covariance matrix compared with that of the multi-parameter distribution, and the estimation of the parameter parameters of the CMD is discussed, where the distribution is given by n ~~~~~~~~~~~k-i k-i ~X Xk-lj'' 1

Concepts of Independence for Proportions with a Generalization of the Dirichlet Distribution
TL;DR: In this article, the concepts of independence for nonnegative continuous random variables, X 1, X 2, X 3, X 4, X 5, Xk, subject to the constraint ΣXi = 1 are developed.
