Accuracy and reliability in sex determination from skulls: A comparison of Fordisc (R) 3.0 and the discriminant function analysis
Original language description
Identification in forensic anthropology and in bioarchaeology are essential to each of those fields and use the same methodologies. Sex, age, stature and ancestry can be conclusive or dispensable, depending on the field. The Fordisc1 3.0 computer programwas developed to aid in the identification of the sex, stature and ancestry of skeletal remains by exploiting the Forensic Data Bank (FDB) and computing discriminant function analyses (DFAs). Although widely used, this tool has been recently criticised,principally when used to determine ancestry. Two sub-samples of individuals of known sex were drawn from French (n = 50) and Thai (n = 91) osteological collections and used to assess the reliability of sex determination using Fordisc1 3.0. Comparisons were made using the whole FDB as well as using select groups, taking into account the posterior and typicality probabilities. The results of Fordisc1 3.0 vary between 52.2% and 77.8% depending on the options and groups selected. Tests of p
