The acetabulum/pubis index was tested on American Eskimo and Indian samples of innominate bones to which sex had been assigned by visual inspection. The index alone sexed 91 and 89% of the Eskimo and Indian samples, respectively. Subsequent sorting of misclassified specimens with femur head diameter resulted in 96 and 99% rates of classification. The index and a measurement of ischial height were used in a discriminant function model which correctly identified the sex of 93% of the Eskimo and 92% of the Indian bones. Using femur head diameter to sort those specimens which were misclassified by their discriminant function score yielded classification rates of 96 and 98%. These results are compared to a range of 92 to 100% obtained with the index in earlier studies of American black and white pelvic bone samples.
对通过视觉检查确定性别的美国爱斯基摩人和印第安人无名骨样本进行髋臼/耻骨指数测试。仅该指数就能分别对91%的爱斯基摩人样本和89%的印第安人样本进行性别鉴定。随后，用股骨头直径对误分类标本进行分类，分类率分别为96%和99%。该指数和坐骨高度测量值被用于判别函数模型，该模型正确识别出93%的爱斯基摩人骨骼和92%的印第安人骨骼的性别。用股骨头直径对那些因判别函数得分而误分类的标本进行分类，分类率分别为96%和98%。这些结果与早期对美国黑人和白人骨盆骨样本研究中使用该指数所获得的92%至100%的范围进行了比较。
