Abstract
Due to the inherent difficulties of assigning individual skeletal material to its parent population a statistical procedure, the linear discriminant function, is described and examples given. Once the method is established, tables of critical index values may be used as standard tools for skeletal classification.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
