本研究利用乳牙列的度量和形态特征来区分欧美儿童和非裔美国儿童，并提供分配规则（回归方程）。提出了5个logistic回归方程，正确分配到组的百分比在90.1-92.6%之间。所有五个方程都采用了三个度量特征（下颌乳齿和前、后乳齿的中远端直径）和一个形态学特征（上颌乳齿前前臼齿尖尖数）。除了这四个变量，只有两个或三个额外的形态特征以各种组合添加到最终的方程中。与单独使用特征相比，将度量和形态特征结合使用时，对组的正确分配提高了4-12%。(C) 2004 Wiley-Liss, Inc。
This study employs metric and morphological features of the deciduous dentition for discriminating between European-American and African-American children and providing allocation rules (regression equations). Five logistic regression equations are presented, with the percentage of correct allocation to group of between 90.1-92.6%. All five equations employ three metric traits (the mesiodistal diameters of the mandibular deciduous canines and anterior and posterior deciduous premolars) and one morphological feature (cusp number of the maxillary deciduous anterior premolar). In addition to these four variables, only two or three additional morphological features are added in carious combinations in the final equations. Correct allocation to group is 4-12% greater when combining metric and morphological features compared to using the features separately. (C) 2004 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
