Stepwise multiple discriminant function analysis is used to establish classification functions for sex assessment of North American white femora. The functions correctly assign sex for 82% of a sample consisting of 85 femora of verified age, sex, and race, and for a similarly verified test sample of 30. The objectives are to provide criteria for sexing poorly preserved and fragmentary unknown specimens and a statement of the probable accuracy of such assessments in individual cases. The application of the method to forensic casework is illustrated by a sample case.
逐步多元判别函数分析用于建立北美白人股骨性别评估的分类函数。对于一个由85根经核实年龄、性别和种族的股骨组成的样本，以及一个同样经过核实的30个样本的测试样本，这些函数能正确地对82%的样本进行性别判定。目的是为性别判定保存不佳和破碎的未知标本提供标准，并说明在个别案例中此类评估的可能准确性。通过一个样本案例说明了该方法在法医案件工作中的应用。
