Application of Fisher's Discriminant Analysis in Sex Determination

57 innominate bones of Chinese (male 36, female 21) are included in this study, 16 measurements and sex discriminant analysis were taken. Analysis shows that 6 of all 16 measurements have good results. 4 sex discriminant function of innominate bones were established by means of different Fisher's method. These discriminant functions can be used to sex Chinese innominate bones with highest discriminant rate over 90.0%.
