判别函数分析已被应用于颅骨和颅后骨骼的许多维度，用于美国黑人和白人的性别确定，并在这里扩展到手臂和手腕的五个测量值。其中包括长臂骨骼的最大长度，以及反映腕宽的两个测量值。我们的研究结果表明，白人比黑人更准确地分类，但两组共同的31种可能的测量组合中有7种产生的功能与性别预测的准确性相当，但不是全部，基于骨骼的其他部分的功能。
Discriminant function analysis has been applied to numerous dimensions of the cranial and postcranial skeleton for sex determination of U.S. blacks and whites and is extended here to five measurements of the arm and wrist. These include maximum lengths of the long arm bones in addition to two measurements that reflect wrist breadth. Our results indicate that whites are more accurately classified than blacks, but seven of the 31 possible measurement combinations common to both groups yield functions with sex prediction accuracies comparable to most, but not all, functions based on other parts of the skeleton.
