Sex Determination of 3D Skull Based on a Novel Unsupervised Learning Method.

Computational and mathematical methods in medicine Jun 25, 2018
In law enforcement investigation cases, sex determination from skull morphology is one of the important steps in establishing the identity of an individual from unidentified human skeleton. To our knowledge, existing studies of sex determination of t...

Parzen neural networks: Fundamentals, properties, and an application to forensic anthropology.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society Oct 18, 2017
A novel, unsupervised nonparametric model of multivariate probability density functions (pdf) is introduced, namely the Parzen neural network (PNN). The PNN is intended to overcome the major limitations of traditional (either statistical or neural) p...

DXAGE: A New Method for Age at Death Estimation Based on Femoral Bone Mineral Density and Artificial Neural Networks.

Journal of forensic sciences Aug 29, 2017
Age at death estimation in adult skeletons is hampered, among others, by the unremarkable correlation of bone estimators with chronological age, implementation of inappropriate statistical techniques, observer error, and skeletal incompleteness or de...

Sex determination from the femur in Portuguese populations with classical and machine-learning classifiers.

Journal of forensic and legal medicine Aug 24, 2017
The assessment of sex is of paramount importance in the establishment of the biological profile of a skeletal individual. Femoral relevance for sex estimation is indisputable, particularly when other exceedingly dimorphic skeletal regions are missing...

Classification of Porcine Cranial Fracture Patterns Using a Fracture Printing Interface.

Journal of forensic sciences Nov 16, 2016
Distinguishing between accidental and abusive head trauma in children can be difficult, as there is a lack of baseline data for pediatric cranial fracture patterns. A porcine head model has recently been developed and utilized in a series of studies ...

Automated Classification of Epiphyses in the Distal Radius and Ulna using a Support Vector Machine.

Journal of forensic sciences Dec 22, 2015
The aim of this study was to automatically classify epiphyses in the distal radius and ulna using a support vector machine (SVM) and to examine the accuracy of the epiphyseal growth grades generated by the support vector machine. X-ray images of dist...

Sex estimation from the tarsal bones in a Portuguese sample: a machine learning approach.

International journal of legal medicine Sep 4, 2014
Sex estimation is extremely important in the analysis of human remains as many of the subsequent biological parameters are sex specific (e.g., age at death, stature, and ancestry). When dealing with incomplete or fragmented remains, metric analysis o...
