Multivariate Statistical Methods in Physical Anthropology
Affinities of European Upper Palaeolithic Homo sapiens and later human evolution
The construction of sex discriminant functions from a large collection of skulls of known sex
The suitability of the large collection of skulls of known sex (n♂=357, n⧫=213), housed in the Department of Anthropology of the University of Coimbra, as a reference series for sex diagnosis from skulls, was investigated. This was done by calculating estimates for the maximum «actual discriminatory value for samples being diagnosed». here called Dt max. The estimates for this statistic were found to be relatively low. Depending on the estimation…
Affinity, hominid evolution and Creationism. New computer methods weaken the Creationists' position
Statistical aspects of Mahalanobis distance based methodology
Introduction. On the relationship between physical anthropology and multivariate analysis
Testing some hypotheses on human evolution and sexual dimorphism
Some multivariate tests for differences in sexual dimorphism between human populations
Two multivariate statistical tests are presented for examining differences in sexual dimorphism between human populations. One test refers to general differences in sexual dimorphism; the other, only to differences in size aspects of sexual dimorphism. There is no current resolution to the complementary problem of testing for differences of direction in sexual dimorphism. By applying the tests to a comparison of sexual dimorphism in 26 samples of…
Multivariate Statistical Methods in Physical Anthropology
On the phylogenetic position of the petralona skull
New discrimination and classification techniques in anthropological practice
In the opinion of the authors there is, amongst physical anthropologists, a tendency to rely too heavily on what might be called elementary mathematical multivariate statistical techniques. As a consequence, the many advantages which these methods potentially offer in comparison to older ones seem to be insufficiently recognized. For example, it is customary to apply discriminant analy sis without taking into account the so-called optimum measure…
