Forensic age estimation in human skeletal remains: Current concepts and future directions
TL;DR: This review considers methods appropriate for age estimation in both juvenile and adult remains; the former being primarily based on developmental, and the latter degenerative, morphological features.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of sex estimation techniques during examination of skeletal remains in forensic anthropology casework.
TL;DR: Development of newer and better methodologies for sex estimation as well as re-evaluation of the existing ones will continue in the endeavour of forensic researchers for more accurate results.
Journal ArticleDOI
Virtual determination of sex: metric and nonmetric traits of the adult pelvis from 3D computed tomography models.
TL;DR: Current sex determination standards from the pelvis should be updated to include more in vivo data to increase the accuracy of identification, as shown in this study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of sexual dimorphism of craniofacial traits using geometric morphometric techniques
TL;DR: In this paper, a set of coordinate points were selected to describe glabella, mastoid, frontal and zygomatic processes, and the results of intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) showed excellent intra-and inter-observer agreement (ICA 0.96) in the location of the coordinates of points employed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphometric analysis of pelvic sexual dimorphism in a contemporary Western Australian population
TL;DR: This highly dimorphic bone can be used to classify sex with a high degree of expected accuracy and this study represents the initial forensic research into pelvic sexual dimorphism in a Western Australian population.

Some methods for classification and analysis of multivariate observations
TL;DR: The k-means algorithm as mentioned in this paper partitions an N-dimensional population into k sets on the basis of a sample, which is a generalization of the ordinary sample mean, and it is shown to give partitions which are reasonably efficient in the sense of within-class variance.

Multivariate Statistical Methods
I. G. Evans,Donald F. Morrison +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a text designed to make multivariate techniques available to behavioural, social, biological and medical students is presented, which includes an approach to multivariate inference based on the union-intersection and generalized likelihood ratio principles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Principal warps: thin-plate splines and the decomposition of deformations
TL;DR: The decomposition of deformations by principal warps is demonstrated and the method is extended to deal with curving edges between landmarks to aid the extraction of features for analysis, comparison, and diagnosis of biological and medical images.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extensions of the Procrustes Method for the Optimal Superimposition of Landmarks
F. James Rohlf,Dennis E. Slice +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new method is presented that generalizes Siegel and Benson's (1982) resistant-fit theta-rho analysis so that more than two objects can be compared at the same time.
Standards for Data Collection from Human Skeletal Remains: Proceedings of a Seminar at the Field Museum of Natural History
TL;DR: In this paper, a hands-on laboratory course is presented to examine the human skeleton as a dynamic, living system, with a review of normal and abnormal variations of each bone and apply this knowledge to make determinations about age, sex, stature and pathological conditions.
